tootie Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I have browsed around the forum and a few comments caught my attention. It has been said by a few PAs on this forum that they worry about the future of the PA profession with the NPs "leaving the PAs in the dust due to the stronger lobby". Can any of the PAs clarify this? I live in the NY city area and PAs seem to dominate here over the NPs. All the good jobs call for PAs and the NP openings seem to be in areas like jails, nursing homes, and psych which I feel are less desirable areas. What do you practicing PAs and NPs feel?

cinntsp Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 PAs have better training. NPs have a better lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
