18Ds and PAs... Apples and oranges... They are not comparable in their scope of practice or knowledge base, I can say that as a SF SGM

and no, I was not a medic.

The BSN program is a great idea! I did something similar; accelerated BSN straight into a FNP program at Vanderbilt University (don't ask me how in the hell I was excepted there!) I'm currently one of 109 Family and Orthopedic certified nurse practitioners in existence. Currently working in upper extremity orthopedic trauma (hand), would not have done anything different. I make a very good living and I'm surrounded by beautiful women who think I'm a freakin' rockstar.

If any QPs have questions, please contact me.
