    MSN-NP or PA?

    on eagles wings replied to ryonel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do PA if I were you. I don't see the point of getting your RN to become an NP. Your experience is real competitive for PA programs, you would just need some LORs and I think you could get into...

    NP vs PA vs CNS

    on eagles wings replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    MOST PA programs require a minimum requirement of GOOD HCE(many times over 1000 hrs)--meaning army medics, RTs, RNs, PNs, ER techs, PTAs, etc. including volunteering and shadowing
