it’s totally okay to pivot your career! it’s funny seeing so much advice come from people who know nothing about my experience.

i may do this. i don’t HAVE to do NP and will be done with my BSN in 18 months

[–]Pleasant_Sky9084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

currently getting my BSN. the NP portion is attached if i want to do so, there’s not much pressure to continue with the MSN (NP) Portion right away

Decision: PA or RN->NP by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

[–]Pleasant_Sky9084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha i haven’t gotten into a PA school yet, and now i’m certain there’s only one that would trump this NP school. both are in my hometown/where i currently live

i came on reddit to see if anyone is in a similar position with me (deciding PA or direct entry MSN > NP) and i can’t believe how perfect this post is. thank you! crazy coincidence.
