Hello, I am a RN BSN who has worked in MS for 3 and a half years (CMSRN and whatnot) who also got into PICC nursing on the side about a year and a half in. It was at that point I discovered that I liked doing procedures more than anything else. As such, I have a large interest in doing some kind of surgery some day. I have always been more attracted to the technical aside of healthcare rather than the holistic and I want my next move to reflect that. I know the debate of PA vs NP will forever cause a general rabble rabble to break out, but I personally feel that because my goals are aligned to surgery/procedural side of healthcare that going for a PA-C is better despite the whole autonomy lobbying deal. Right now Im a travel nurse and my last rotation will hopefully set me up to start schooling wherever that may be. Also, I only just got out of the army nurse corp, so my experience with PAs has been pretty exclusively military. I know its different on the civy side. Top choices: Intervention Radiology Cardiac (Catheterizations) Orthopedics General as you can see, I prefer the minimally invasive side of house so if there is some kind of other surgical sub specialty you can recommend I'm all ears!
