Dual license?

I tried briefly searching for the answer to this but didn't see anything. Are you allowed to hold both an RN license as well as a PA license simultaneously ? Meaning if you get both degrees can you work..say full-time as one and part time as the other? I know all the differences between the two, I'm not really looking for a lecture on choosing just one. I'm just curious if this is possible. Thanks in advance!
If there is anything against it, it would be a matter of the state you are in. I would contact either authority and ask.

For different employers it will probably be possible without any conflicts.However, for any perceived conflicts, it would be best to contact the licensing boards for each. Others have had concerns with dual licenses but generally when both credentials were on the same name tag with some overlaps like for Flight/CCT teams.Ex. RN/EMT-P, RN/RRT, RRT/EMT-PWe do have one PA who is back on the job as an RRT since the clinic he worked for closed. We also have NPs working the floors again s/p layoffs.

I'd suggest talking with a lawyer (Lord forgive me) because the worst case I can imagine is being in court trying to deal with the difference in license levels.

I had a similar thought. You're held to the highest license you have; I know if you are working as an LPN but have your RN too, you're actually still held accountable as an RN, not an LPN. I don't know how this would work with an RN and PA license though.

I'm just starting off in nursing school wish me luck

Yes. I applied to PA school and will keep my RN as a back up as well as extra income if I do get accepted. However, I could not be a PA where I work as an RN.
