Hello all, hope this email finds everyone safe and doing well,on the streets, in the box, or my crew overseas.
Physician Assistant Vs. Nurse Practitioner?
I think I'm done with the sandbox work, and I'm looking for a program. I've done some research on both, and I've come to the conclusion that PA is still a glorified Paramedic with (mother-may-I) responsibilities to the attending physician(s). Nurse Practitioner however, apparently, you can open your own practice or be contracted by an office. I'd like to go to MED school really, but at 33 YOA don't see it happening.
Can't tell you the countless times ive enjoyed punking down MD residents on poor assessments and I know I could do as good if not a better job. HELL, any medic on here would SMOKE most ER residents at a difficult airway, ACLS,PALS,......hahah.
Anyone else looking at this? any comments or info appreciated, Much Thanks!!
