How do you like your job as a physician assistant?

What is the scope of PA (physician assistant) ,salary and the job prospects?

  • and do people think that PA's job is like nurses?

  • Answer:

    PA's do all the work for the doctor/physician. Be careful because it is not "easy" work. Some time ago I went to the department of labor webiste to compare salaries of medical careers and business occupations. http://www.dol.gov PA's get paid about the same as a nurses. RN's can pick up extra shifts and bonuses. They can travel and practice in so many different facets. Nurses work in academic institutions, teach, work in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, rehab centers, major corporations i.e. The Big Three, IBM, Sony. They also work in churches, armed forces, insurance companies, some cruise ships and more. PA's dont have the same flexibility when it comes to work environment. It is generally hospitals and clinics. For that reason PA's are not in high demand as RN's.
