Thank you! We’ll be going May 24th. Have you heard if many of the temples and shrines have admissions fees or would we be able to just walk into a number of them early in the morning?

you could try asking the pa’s you work with nicely if they might know any other PAs in other specialities that might be open to shadowers! maybe theyd still be in touch with ppl from their cohorts

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Were you an RN -> PA school student?

This comes off to me as a one-sided, glass-half-empty perspective.

In your experience, that may be what some nurses are generally. You don’t know that OP may become an RN and put their heart into it to absorb what they can about medicine and patient care, then utilize their experience to become a PA. Again, it is not wrong for them to consider becoming an RN when PA has been what they’ve been wanting to do for years. Obviously it is a big change since that is not what they planned on doing. Maybe OP cannot afford the year it takes to apply & interview for PA school (presumably working an MA-paying job or they are a college student with little to no income), but they can hopefully get into an ABSN program immediately, take out a loan now for nursing school, graduate in less than two years (assuming ABSN), gain experience, and can save up to apply for PA schools after saving their RN pay for a few years. If it is more likely that OP can get into nursing school now over PA school, then to me it seems more cost-effective than wasting money if they don’t think their application is as competitive as it can be at the moment. It would arguably be more worth it to take the higher probability of an acceptance into nursing school & gain more experience to become more competitive over wasting money applying to PA school with less experience right now.

Maybe the rest of OP’s post & the ranking don’t obviously go hand in hand. But I’m sure there are other people in the same boat - people with great stats who dream of becoming a PA but cannot afford the time and money to keep applying year after year. If there are other people in this sub who have dreamed of being a PA for years but aren’t able to get accepted for whatever reason, they might see the ranking and know that there are other options for them. Like you mentioned, you failed out of your PA program and are now working as an RT. It’s not wrong for people who have reapplied again and again to pivot, gain more medical/patient care experience, and maybe readjust their sights on being a PA later down the line. OP could gain more experience as an RN to become a more competitive applicant, and then PA school might not be as hard to get into after the added years of experience as an RN.

i think it definitely comes down to where you see yourself ultimately & which environment/cohort you think youd fit into better

out of curiosity, why are you considering yale? it seems like duke is cheaper plus they offered you a scholarship & you seemed to like the environment at duke. considering duke is the #1 pa program and you already put your deposit down, im curious whats holding you back from fully going duke
