NP vs PA

1 Hi , I'm a 19 year old VN student going to the 3 month of school now. My ultímate goal is to the an MD , however That is kind of imposible due to my financial status. I live on my own in McAllen Texas and my parents live at Mexico, so everything i do is on my own. As I said I want to become an MD but due to the money I find that option out of my league but one of my main reason to become an MD is to be the boss , not to be bossing around or anything like that but to help other by having the full experience of the medical experience. I thrive on the moral
Concept of respect and honestly that is one of the reason I want to be an MD. However , not everything is possible so i want to know what is better : an NP or PA? Better in the sense that I can get the full experience in a hospital, that I can be practicing in a hospital without being under someone that much? I need all the pros and cons. Thank you!
You can do whatever you want to do if you work hard enough. There are tons of programs to help pay for school and even living expenses. As I'm sure most people will tell you, it is a waste of time to go the np or pa route if your ultimate goal is to be an MD. Both will still require a considerable amount of time and money. NP is better because you can be more independent in the sense that you may be able to have your own clinic (in some states), and a PA always has to work with a physician (hence the title physician assistant). If I were you, I would go to the local medical school and financial aid office and find out what the requirements are. Ask about student loans, stipends, scholarships, and state programs that pay for medical school and/or living expenses. I basically lived off my student loans and a grant in nursing school. On the other hand if you try to go another rote first you will have waisted a lot of time and money taking courses that will not help you to get into medical school. No one can do the work for you, you have to do the research for yourself.
I apriciate your honesty and the time you took to answers my question. Another interesting fact that I forgot to put on the post Is that I work 40 hours a week to pay rent and still manage to go to LVN school. I'm paying most of the schoolAside for my living expenses. Even though I have little time my grades are pretty good compared to the time I put studyng. I can't afford quitting my job, I live on my own. No support form anybody, that is the reason I said : not everything is possible. You can say : everything is possible if you try, well I'm trying really hard on my first goal wich is LVN. As the time progress my best option is NP, but who knows. I'm between those options. Another thing is that is not a waste of time because i have met several doctors who started as nurses etc. Thanks Larry
