Thank you I understand that now. I've pretty much gotten all the information I wanted.

Yeah I got it the first time. Thanks. You've made your point.

It's okay haha. Doesn't bother me but again, thank you.

Thank you, I can appreciate that.

Thank you and I'm a guy. I'm just looking for advice.

Thank you for your opinion.

So these same nurses don't think highly of PA's either? They start off doing the same thing NP's do, and do it just as well. I can't see why a PA would need experience, so why should an NP? Seems a bit trivial to argue.

I hope I'm in the right place; I'm bad with forums. So I'm pre-RN in college right now(doing pre-requisites) and I'm interested in being advanced practice. I know everyone says you should get experience before applying to a Graduate program, but I would rather just do advanced practice instead of being a floor nurse for years on end, getting experience. Most people tell me to go to PA school since this is more my fit but PA school is INSANELY expensive, compared to some of the NP programs around me. The only problem is, I don't know if I have a shot of getting in any of the NP programs without any experience. Is it possible? Or should I just pursue being a PA? Thanks, JT.
