Is there a personality difference between PA's and DNP's and if so, should I consider this when making a career choice?
I understand that PA's tend to be task oriented, check it off the list, get it done and move on type of personalities vs nurses who might have a similar job description, but tend to be more compassionate and nurturing. I definitely tend to lean towards the PA type but my college of choice does not have a PA school. Therefore, should I consider nursing school instead? #nursing #physician #hospital-and-health-care #hospital #medicine #college

The career paths vary for PAs and NPs .
First and foremost a Biology Degree is required in order to get into PA school and the willingness to commit to hours and hours of required curriculum courses; like Anatomy, Biology Chemistry etc. Do your Math homework too.
NPs in most cases will build from an RN or BSN foundation leaning towards teaching future Nurses.
