I’m trying to decide whether PA MS is a more appropriate degree to pursue instead of a nursing BSN/ABSN. My biggest concern is that I don’t have financial aid for another undergrad degree (nursing), but I would for a PA program since it’s graduate level.

I’m in EMS and love the work I do - would it be possible to keep doing this as a PA? I know that in my state there are bridge programs for nurses to care for patients within their scope of practice => PHRN, etc, but I’m not sure if PAs do too.

Edit: wow, thank you to everyone who took the time to answer my question. I am saving all the suggestions to refer to, they’re really helpful.
