Scope of Practice information.

Hello all. I am just beginning my journey in nursing in Texas. I am actually just now enrolling in pre-nursing courses for my BSN (I have a BBA). So, I know it may seem I am ahead of my self, but I'm trying to loosely map a course, so I can be sure I will get where I intend. For now, my plan is to obtain my BSN/RN, and almost immediately start on my Family Nurse Practitioner. I know there are multiple specialties and population focuses available for Advance practice, and I want to make the right choice. I have read the Texas administrative code Title 22 Part 11, and the Nursing practice act. I have searched the Texas BON, and read their FAQ's, and even emailed them. I have worn google out, and I can not find a concise definition for scope of practice between the different areas of advance practice. Can some one point me in the right direction?

    That's an idea. I looked into the PA option a bit more. Many fewer schools, cost is a good bit higher, and all Face to Face. At least what I was able to find in Texas. The only upside is that after a few prerequisite's the PA programs are about 30 months compare to 15 months to BSN/RN, then another 30-36 months to NP. But, the nursing path can be done largely online didactic, allowing me to work my way through. I just can't find a significant upside on the PA option.
