Both of them require you to get your sciences such as chem, biology, psychology, and anatomy and physiology as well as English. You will also need to have math as well. But if you're not as strong with sciences and math, then you should try the RN program first, and then you can branch into something like a practitioner or something at a later date.

PA's and RN's do far different things and are brought up in different schools of thought. Even if you move into CRNP (practitioners) there is no comparison (the work, in some respects, may be similar. But there is a distinct difference in the job). Nurses are all things to their patients and all the time. You are comparing apples and oranges, my friend. PA’s and RN’s do far different things and are brought up in different schools of thought.
