RN to PA

Published

I am becoming an RN with my ultimate intentions being to become a PA. Will I have completed the necessary prereqs to get into a PA or will I have to go back to school before entering a PA program?

You need to look at the prereqs for the PA school you want to go to, and compare them to your RN sciences.

Wouldn't it be easier to become a Nurse Practitioner...do they do the same work? I had some questions to this myself.
