What's the difference between nurse practioner and physician assistant? Which is the better career path?

  • nurse practioner and physician assistant only.

  • Answer:

    A nurse practitioner is trained from a nursing perspective and a physician's assistant is trained as physicians are trained but without the internship or residency. Both are very valuable in the medical field. Pay can be very close to equal depending on which state you intend to practice. In some states NPs can practice independently. In other states, they require physician supervision as do PAs.
