[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the difference in job function between a nurse practitioner and a PA? We have seen some great nurse practitioners who seem to have lots of knowledge and experience but they seem to be lower in the hierarchy than the young PAs.[/quote] NPs can “practice” independently, write prescriptions (prescribe). PAs can’t practice nor subscribe medications. Both require masters degrees and rigorous training abs state licensure. I’m not in the medical field but would prefer to be an NP over PA, primarily because NPs can operate independently and write RX. [/quote] I’ve been to PA’s who prescribe. This is in Maryland.
