Answer 1

I will guest an RN nurse....

Answer 2

RNs have three levels of entry onto practice (in the US) diploma training by hospitals, associates degrees and bachelors degrees, they have a very responsible job and perform the bulk of the patient management in the hospitals. Due to the multi tiered entry to practice and other issues there are difficulties in raising the bar on their salaries, but the current nursing shortage is taking care of most of that. There will be a shortage of millions of RNs in the next few years, and the salaries will rise to keep the current RNs in practice. Do not be suprisied if they equal PAs and NPs.

I can not give examples of every part of the country but I will only speak to one area I know well. San Antonio, a major city in the southern US, many RNs make an average of $65k per year without overtime.

In the same city the average salary for PAs and NPs is relatively equal at $78-80k.

PAs can currently enter practice with a BS or masters degree in most states. They work for physicians and are not independently licensed, but are frequently placed in autonomous positions with minimal oversight.

NPs have obtained a BSN (generally) and then get an MSN (there are ADN to MSN programs available) an MSN is required to work as an NP in the US. They have set this as the single current entry level to practice, though there were certificate programs in the past. In most states National Certification by their Boards is a requirement for licensure. The the differences between PAs and NPs are philosophical in the educational programs, but most PAs and NPs work together well and their organizations freqiuently intermesh. Additionally, due to State Licensure differences NPs are independently licensed. In many states there is a requirement that there be some form of physician oversight or collaboration, but is some NPs can set up independent practice. There is currently some effort to move the NP programs to a DNS doctorate program.

In a generalized statement... NPs and PAs generally do essentially the same activities as the office physician. Generally, the limitations are mostly procedural ie surgeries, though many NPs and PAs work as first assistants in surgery also. As the needs of health care expand, the roles of all providers expand. NPs and PAs are found in all primarycare and most specialty areas of health care. If you want to know what they do, generally think about your last visit to see a health care provider, if it was for a same day issue, a routine issue, a chronic medical issue it is what NPs and PAs do on a daily basis.

Answer 3

Well the nurse practitioner needs to first become a registered nurse (RN), get a bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) and then go to grad school for NP, so the NP's do make more than the RN. I believe that the PA's and NP's make a similar salary, both being able to assess, evaluate, prescribe medication and do minor surgery if needed though under the supervision of a licensed physician. Perhaps you can shadow a PA and/or NP and even engage in some volunteer work. http://www.volunteermatch.org

For more info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and search 'physician assistant' or 'registered nurse' (brief passage on NP). It's really best to base one's career decision on one's passions, strengths and interests.

Answer 4

Physician assistants and nurse practitioners are usually about the same pay. Both require master's level education. RN's get paid less.

Answer 5

A physician assistant usually makes more money. Much more schooling and more responsibilities.
