[QUOTE="BestDoctorEver, post: 15683442, member: 286446"] It seems like PA was a great deal 10+ years ago when tuition was <20k/year. Now tuition has gotten very expensive... I looked into a PA school and I was shocked to see tuition was as high as med school. After I talked to a couple of primary care PAs who were kind enough to tell me their compensations (75k-85k), I did not think it was worth it to spend 150k in cost of attendance for a not so great salary. And contrary to most I have seen in SDN, most PA schools are a little over 2 years. I personally think NP is a better deal than PA. I have a couple of friends who did RN and then to NP in 3 years (part-time) while working. They got their NP degree with not even 1/3 of the debt that most PA students accumulated. [/QUOTE]
