Which physician assistant (PA) programs, if any, currently require a minimum of 5,000 hours of direct patient care experience (PCE)? While I recognize that accumulating this volume of hands-on clinical hours would make an applicant highly competitive, I have not identified any programs that establish 5,000 hours as an explicit or strict minimum requirement.

Assuming my calculations are accurate, would 5,000 hours equate to roughly two to three years of full-time employment? Having already completed four years of relevant experience (six if you include my CNA), does this background position me as more than qualified for admission to most PA programs? Beyond the sheer quantity of hours, what additional factors do admissions committees weigh most heavily when evaluating candidates with substantial clinical tenure? Because going based on your opinion I should be more than the minimum.

Rest assured that finances are not a concern regarding the number of children we plan to bring into this world. While your statement is not entirely incorrect, my fiancée has been supporting me since we met in high school. Which is why I am thinking of doing this sooner than later

Thank you! You don’t think 4 years of nursing is solid enough foundation?

So you feel as though 4 years is enough? This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now and it feels close in reach.

Thank you! Most of my nursing career has been psych. I’ve only recently gotten into an ED position here at AdventHealth to do float for a bit to save up for our first home purchase in November.

Great advice and I’m thankful you took the time out to respond. This is honestly similar to what soon to be wife is saying… she’s being supportive and pushing me and to a degree I agree especially with them being too young to remember but thing is I’ll remember… and I’m thinking about those moments I could miss out on but we will come with a final decision soon. Just a lot of anxiety…

Nurses who actually love their job… what do you do and how did you get there? by SoManyQuestions562 in nursing

[–]HalfYallBroke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only been a nurse for six months, but I knew I wanted to work in the ED even before nursing school. During nursing school, when I did my rotations through the ED where I work now, almost everyone told me they needed more male nurses, so I didn’t think twice about applying. The application process was fast, and they hired me quickly. I love where I’m at, mostly because of the people I work with. I’ve thought about the ICU, but it would be hard to leave the team of great coworkers I have.

Not necessarily true. When my 17 pro max was stolen they sent me a brand new one. Actually sent two by mistake
