InvertedHammer: It's appalling how gullible many people are. Check the requirement for pa admission under direct patient care experience on any pa program websites. Hope you won't come back to ask where is cna. CNA is the same name for nursing assistant/nursing aide. Additional Requirements for Applicants: http://sullivan.edu/prerequisites/ So, who is out of his mind between you and I? 1 Like |

imperiouxx:/ At least 500 direct patient contact hours from, but not limited to the following: The bold phrase is the prerequisite. Being a CNA will certify this but not in itself absolute. In other words, you don't need to be a CNA to be a PA (which by the way is just there) imperiouxx:/ At the end of the year, a BSN employee should make more money than a PA because nurses can do overtime and be able to work other jobs. PA is an employee in a hospital (rarely), clinics and offices doing 8hrs shifts only to get full time (40hrs/week). The same as Nurse Practitioners. Both professions get no respect from bedside nurses who would rather deal with the doctors. This is the first time that I am hearing that PA is a glorified profession. No one else takes notice even in the medical profession. If you want to talk about nurse anaesthetics, then you may get my attention. By the way $120k/years in NY is not a lot of money. \ |

DIFY20: Yes, but the people washing dead bodies in Nigeria are NOT university graduates. They are usually old, semi-educated mortuary attendants. This is the point most of you are missing. Some Nigerian mortuary attendants in the West are masters degree holders in Nigeria. One might be earning Dollars, Euros or Pounds in the west, but Nigerians doing such jobs have zero job satisfaction and are mostly frustrated. Same goes for Cleaners and street sweepers. The 'Myth' about washing dead bodies came about because the people who do it in the West would rather die than do it in Nigeria. We have to be honest to ourselves. It's not the job itself, but the fact the you have to stoop so low to do that in a Western country after all your dreams. Dead bodies are being washed daily in Nigeria by happy mortuary attendants. 1 Like |

InvertedHammer: At this point, your arguement is baseless and it makes no single sense to me. There are many ways to get the HCE/PCE, of which cna is among. The bold statement is the prereq, you must be joking. Mr. the prereq is pce/hce, how you get it from any of those listed paths is none of the school business. So you can become a CNA to be a PA. I can give you our US pre-pa group on Facebook to see what students go to become before joining the pa program. I know the term cna is associated with under paid job but students also become cna to get hce/pce to go to pa schools. This was my point which you rudely disputed, probably out of ignorance. I don't know why people on this nairaland think someone will come here to lie when themselves are not knowledgeable. |

imperiouxx:/ But do you agree that one can be a PA without being a CNA? So being a CNA is not a prerequisite to PA. Unless you don't understand the meaning of prerequisite. The prerequisite is: 500 direct patients contact hours. Eg. English 101 is a prerequisite to English 102. In other words, you cannot take English 102 unless you take and pass English 101. pre·req·ui·site 1. a thing that is required as a prior condition for something else to happen or exist. PA is no big deal to warrant this unnecessary argument. It is just there. If you are in school to be a PA, you will see when you graduate that the respect is not there. Some patients will refuse to be seen by a PA unless Medicare patients with no option(s). No PA will attend to any of my family members. That's all. \ |

InvertedHammer: Did you read my initial comment you? You're the one that needsays to agree with me. I said cna is one of the prereqs to become a PA. I didn't say it's the only prereq to become a PA. And stop quoting English dictionary, let those in the field tell you what it's. For a medical school admission, your pce or shadow fails into your prerequisite which you must have before you're admitted. And cna is one of the fastest ways to get it. |

imperiouxx:/ PA prerequisite: 500 direct patients contact hours A CNA with experience satisfies this requirement. But CNA is not one of the prerequisites. \ 1 Like |
Re: The Myth About Nigerians Washing Dead Bodies In The US by imperiouxx(m): 9:34pm On May 28, 2016 |
InvertedHammer: Yes. How you get your 500 hours is none of the schools business in as much you choose from their list. For this particular school pce is 500 hours being a private school, there are many other schools that require between 1000 to 2000 hours. |
Re: The Myth About Nigerians Washing Dead Bodies In The US by InvertedHammer: 9:36pm On May 28, 2016 |
imperiouxx:/ The point is that they require x amount of direct patients contact hours. It does not matter how you get it. When you said that CNA is one of the prerequisites, it means that to get to PA you must go through CNA. But that's not the case. Do you catch my drift? You just misinformed the public. \ |

InvertedHammer: I just saw this part. If you've ever sent any of your family to the ER or a specialist office, you dont know how many times PAs have helped save their lives? Talking about no respect, it shows you don't know about the roles of a pa in a medical team. Bye. |

InvertedHammer: From my (a student) standpoint, that was not misinformation. Academically, to prove an idea wrong and start tagging someone as a liar, you need to have the facts with you first. |

imperiouxx:/ Everyone plays a role. From housekeepers, security guards to medical professionals. A PA cannot run a code. PAs do not do major invasive procedures. They are assistants for crying out loud. They work under the auspices and supervision of a physician although their roles are expanding in mostly low population density states. And when they write prescriptions, it must be signed off by a physician. When you graduate, you will notice that some nurses will be calling your orders bluff. They may need clarification from your supervising physician first. It is a noble profession. But don't make PA what it is not. It is a medical profession like Nursing and Therapists. Nothing more, nothing less. I can detect your condescending attitude towards nurses already. Everyone should stay in their lanes. That is the exact problem I have with nurses too. PA == Physician Assistants. What will happen if you are a physician? Walk on the moon? LOL. \ 2 Likes |

And what the people who believe this myth do not realise is that white folks do this kinda jobs too not just Africans. Infact some Africans/nigerians are Employers of white people too. And even holds prestigious well paid jobs in the US and England. Atleast in America you get running water through your tap and uninterupted constant electricity, functionning and well established hospitals you do not need a police report before getting treatment . Nigeria is a hell hole. 3 Likes |

InvertedHammer: All that makes no sense. I don't see where I made the profession to be more than what it's. Only told you to be polite with other opinions before calling names. Simple. What I feel about the career after school is not your business, you're not talking to a kid. And to think being a physician can make people feel on top of the world...... ride on. |
