NP>PA
I'd agree with this ... I just see it as NPs have been through a lot of practical experience prior to NP school. PAs might be smart and have the training BUT I just can't see how they have the hands on experience that seasoned nurses do when they become NPs. Just my point of view.

Maybe in family practice. Throw them in a specialty especially in the OR they will not compare.

There are advantages to both.
NPs have more nursing experience but schooling is strange and mostly online. Lots of papers instead of didactic learning. Not many clinical hours or classroom learning. Schooling is less expensive. Majority of NPs I've worked with are great
PAs have class like shorter med school and must attend. Then at least one full year of clinicals. More rigorous and close to med school. But not all PAs are great
I love my career. Being a PA is awesome. Was a great choice for me. I would recommend it to anyone who is considering it and is qualified
