PAGuest

My desire is not money driven. I make more than enough money now (in emergency medicine). It is due to the whole NP: independent provider, PA: dependent provider issue. My hope would be to gain a little more freedom and flexibility by earning NP on top of my PA. Right now I have my master's degree. I have no desire to gain another degree if its not necessary. Even a certificate program, if one exists, that allows me to sit for the NP boards would be fine. It sounds like my best be would be in a direct entry, online program?

BSN? As in bachelors of science in nursing? I have no nursing backgorund or training if that is what you mean by BSN.

Hi, I completed a search and found tons on PA vs NP but none on PA to NP. I love being a PA and feel I received excellent training. However, I'm interested in the possibility of gaining more freedom by becoming a PA/NP. I have NO nursing background though. Can anyone lend any guidance? Thank you in advance. On more thing, right now I make ~$130k per annum and it would not be financially feasible for me to stop working to pursue this idea...

Oh, one more thing. I am currently making ~$130k per annum. It would not be feasible for me to quit working in order to do the full-time school thing...
