I have a BA in French. I want to change my career path, and I have always been interested in becoming a PA. How long does it take? I did not have any science credits from my undergraduate. Can I use my liberal arts credits to shorten my BSN requirement? How much longer does it take to be a PA or possibly CRNA (another interest of mine)? Thank you for answering my questions.

I cannot answer the P.A. question except to say you don't take a nursing degree to become a P.A.
There are many universities these days that will offer a short BSN program to those who already have a bachelor's degree. If you want to be a CRNA, you need your BSN first. Then it is one year more after that to become a CRNA.
Remember if you are interested in the medical role, there is also a surgical first assist job, or OR tech that doesnt' require Nursing school. Nursing school is to train you to be a Nurse, not a poor man's doctor.

It is determined by who you're employed with. Yes a few nurses do not provide aides any admire, they act like aides are simply there to do each and every little soiled factor they do not wish to. Other nurses act that if it wasn't for aides they could not get there activity performed & the pt might under no circumstances get the concentration they want. There also are nurses that if an aide suggests curiosity in studying extra, will fortunately give an explanation for what ever process they're doing, and in addition reply to the nice of there capabilities any questions an aide could have. Makeing being a well being care aide only a studying experiance on a fisrt step to an overly moneymaking provider. I paintings in a situation wherein is does cross each methods, & co-employees that act "unpleasant" to aides frequently discover them selfs rather wishing that they had extra aides after we are brief staffed. Co-employees that appriciate aides, after we are brief staffed aid every different extra offten. If everybody might simply appreciate that we paintings in a well being care proffession, nurseing residence, sanatorium, hospice, at residence care, all of us acquired into this proffession to aid folks, & if we (nurses, aides, medical professionals, household) all paintings in combination to provide the appropiate care to thouse in want. Our well being care repute might be plenty greater. And our pts might be plenty more fit & cozy. I gets off my cleaning soap field now.
