[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is helpful, but really doesn't answer what the real difference are between the two. From what I read, they are very similar and both can do patient care. Do some of the above posters have insight. Also, what if my DD goes to a direct admit nursing school, but then decides to switch to a PA after graduation (and will have her BSN). Anyone seen that happen? [/quote] PA school is 2 years after graduation. As long as you have the pre-requisite classes you can apply. Be careful with nursing science classes vs standard science classes taught at a university for STEM majors. The nursing classes are often not as rigorous and may not be accepted by the PA program. Your DD may have to do a post-Bacc year to get the requirements. Your best bet is to contact a few PA schools admissions offices and ask if they accept nursing science classes. [/quote]
