![]() Hass ought to know–she’s both a PA and an NP. Are PAs and NPs the same?Īre the two professions even that different? As Virginia Hass explains, “The two professions enjoy significant areas of overlap, yet are still distinct in their education, initial certification, maintenance of certification, and licensure.” Ms. “You’re just about as likely to find a PA to airline pilot bridge” quips another. Others commenting on the post were quick to point out where nurse practitioners trail physician assistants in clinical training. Perhaps even wondering if the original poster was a burned out, disillusioned PA asking for help or an internet troll looking for a few laughs. I can imagine the respondent, with one eyebrow raised, lips pursed, genuinely confused. “Why would you even want to do that?” responded one PA when the question was raised on social media. Say, what? A PA to NP bridge? The very thought is incomprehensible to some. But there’s a new bridge everyone is talking about: a physician assistant to nurse practitioner bridge. The great English scientist Isaac Newton is credited with saying: “We build too many walls and not enough bridges.” This site began as a bridge of sorts. ![]()
