Answer by Andrew
No, private college isn’t really worth it ever, especially in a field like nursing. Don’t go into debt just to go to a slightly better school.

Best answer:
Answer by .
I just asked the PA I work for that question 2 days ago…Here is what he said
He said they make about the same salary..PA may be slighty higher pay, the difference is that a Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner works independently, while a Physician assistant works under the direction of the Doctor. PAs go through more schooling

Question by Daniel K: whats better medical technologist or nurse?
I cant make up my mind, although I’d rather work in a Laboratory (I think because its more scientific based thinking) I just can’t make up my mind. Is it just as easy to get jobs as a medical technologist than a Nurse? Any help would be helpful.

Answer by CCRN
Depends on what your definition of better is. Becoming an MT is definitely quicker, as it can be provided by a hospital and is on the job training or just one semester of schooling. Becoming a nurse requires at least 2 years of schooling which has a higher initial cost, but you end up with a much higher paying job.

I heard np’s have it great because they have a high degree of autonomy, can write prescriptions, are well-paid, and are needed pretty much everywhere (as you mentioned). My aunt is an np, and she says it’s the closest thing to being a doc without going to medical school or doing osteopathy. I’m not sure a medical lab job has as many perks, especially if you’re a people person…

Best answer:
Answer by DrIG
Place the name of each school individually into your favorite search engine and add the phrase rankings and reviews. Then do a compare and contrast.
If there is time the best approach is to visit each school and to speak to faculty, students and admissions .

Question by RN2B: What school is better for nursing, Everest College or Gila Community College Payson?
I have been accepted into 2 nursing schools. Everest College and Gila Community College Payson. I am wondering if anyone has any insider info on either school or any opinions. I have found some bad reviews on Everest and nothing on Gila. Everest is $ 38,000 Gila is $ 6,000 but Gila is about 2 hour drive from my home. I want the better school though something that will help me in my education. Any info would help, thank you!
Thank you for your answers, I just wonder why everyone thinks Everest is a scam? Any reasons? PLEASE also I have applied to nursing programs closer to my home but there is a 2 year wait list for them.
Best answer:
Answer by Squiggles
I’ve heard a bunch of bad stuff about Everest and personally I don’t like schools who have commercials that seem a bit degrading (if she can do it, you can do it). I’ve never heard of Gila but the price for a nursing course honestly seems fishy to me.
