I am a senior in high school and I will be going to college next year on a basketball scholarship. I have been guided towards the biology route because counselors have told me that would help me get into PA school.

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

Nursing Track Vs. Pre-med and physician assistant ? What's the different role?
Hi, I am a senior in high school. I am interested in being a doctor particularly a family doctor because I want to work with all ages and both sexes. I was taking family medicine or emergency medicine. However, I always thought of doctors don't have direct- contact with patients like a nurse does. I know that being a doctor takes a long time. I really want the title as a doctor. Like is it worth it ? Because I know I'll probably be in debt after I finish med- school and residency.Then I started being in interested in to become a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. I like nursing because it is more direct patient contact and then I was interested in being a physician assistant because it is sort of similar to a doctor but they work under supervision of a doctor. Do physician assistants work independently ? Do nursing have similar classes like pre-med or P.A track? I want to know because I'm just confuse and need to know which career would fit me best. I just know that I want to help and cure people. #doctor #medicine #healthcare #pre-med #physician #nurse-practitioner #assistant
