RN to PA

[RodneyP]

Is it possible to be a RN and then go to PA school?

 

Has anyone done it?

The problem I have is that after I do the 4 years of Pre-Req for PA i want to have something in my back pocket just in case everything doesnt go well.

 

Of course Nurse Practitioner is an option....

it used to be that 1/3 of all PAs were RNs. that # is lower now but it still happens and is a great way to go.

One of my coworkers was an RN who went to PA school.  They're out there.  If that's what you want to do then do it.  Who's gonna tell you you're wrong?

There are 2 RNs in my class.  They are both doing very well...RN is a great lead into PA.
