Don't let money deter you from applying to PA School. There are a lot of options out there to pay for school, you just have to research and find what will work best for you. Happy Sunday all!
Adanna The PA I hardly ever post comments, but you been one of my inspiration in becoming a PA! I want to say thank you for putting yourself out there for us to learn new methods or simply teaching us step by step the process. Especially being a women of color! It’s nice to see someone who resembles you accomplishing big things! I’m almost half way done in getting my Bachelor degree, so I have a little ways to go lol. I look forward to seeing your progress. Greetings from California
If you're a civilian the navy and the airforce will pay PA school for you and pay you while you are in PA school. All you have to do is get admitted first, currently working on my admission before I turn 37.
That is great advice especially for those individuals that have a "financial" range. A lot of us jist try to get in and work on figuring out the whole payment thing later.
Jiron127 where im at there are PA schools that cost about 49,000 and some even have tuition that are less...and keep in mind they are amazing schools that are accredited PA schools so that argument is different for everyone.
Stefania for-sure that must be the south? In Illinois there are only 5 schools in the whole state. Each are in the 80-100k range. Idk if you mean 49k for 1yr or both? Then yea, there are schools here in the 38k range per yr.
Jiron127 No I live up north and there are schools that cost 49k for both years its just a matter of doing research and figuring out which colleges have master programs for PA studies
So it is possible to not go completely broke while in PA school lol. I just breathe out such a sigh of relief watching this video. Best tip you gave was sharing the medical fields version of TFA. I never knew there was such a thing until now. Thank you so much Adanna🙏🙏☺️☺️☺️
Would being a nurse for a year or 2 before going to PA school be a great option. I heard that beingba MA would make more sense if you want to be a PA. I thought that being a nurse gets you hands on experience, some money and alot of information.
Honestly being a nurse would be a huge benefit, but I don't think you need to be a nurse for 2 yrs before applying. Being an MA is nice because you're getting on the job training but at the same time you're also building lots of healthcare experience but being a nurse is giving you more critical care/thinking skills. There's pros and cons to both but at the end of the day you still require a bachelor's degree to become PA so even if you're just an Ma and you don't have a bachelor's degree you're still going to need to get that the Nursing degree takes care of both you having a bachelor's degree and getting patient contact experience. But again you don't need to wait 2 yrs. Straight out of nursing school should suffice.
That’s the route I’ve decided to take too, Stefania. I decided I’d rather get a nursing license first to get my hands on experience while making a livable wage. I just couldn’t justify making ~$10 an hour as a MA for two years just to get my experience in the field.
As I stated before I don't think you need to be a nurse for 2 years and then apply to pay school it would be nice to get that experience and he would make an excellent PA student with the information that you've gained and the knowledge that you've learned from your two years of nursing prior however there are students that are coming in to PA School straight out of undergrad so it's not necessary it just makes you look like a better candidate. If you have the time in your willing to take those two years to be a nurse and get that experience then by all means do that but lot of PA students were pre PA students that are like 25 26 don't necessarily want to wait two years until they're 27 29 or even 30 to start PA School. Just a matter of preference.
If I can enter PA school at 23 should I? Or should I wait til 24 when I'm an independent and fafsa will actually do something. My parents make a hefty salary.
If I were you I would apply as soon I can. FAFSA considers you an independent when you are registered under a graduate school. With that being said, you'll be capped at a $20,500 unsub loan. If you need more you'll be encouraged to get a PLUS loan. Look into ALL your options though.
If you really don’t want loans on your back, jus work in college, save up, and if you don’t have enough money, then take a gap year, work full time, save up more, and if you still don’t have enough money, get a good job after college, work for as long as you need to pay the tuition and that should work out. I believe nobody should ever have to take out a loan for school if they just got their priorities straight!
Ive been looking into Wells Fargo also, have you had any problems with them? I want to use them for my undergrad too. Thank you for all the information. You have really been a ton of help. I hoping to get into Yale because of their fully online program. It seems no other school offers that, which is very frustrating because Yale is so expensive.
@@jessijamescollection2017 Yes and its amazing! You can stay in the city you live in and they set up all your clinicals. During the 28 week program you will need to visit Yale University 3 times. 1st for interview, 2nd timwe in-between your didactic an clinical years for a week and at the end for graduation. Im praying to get in but of course its Yale, one of the hardest schools to get into. You should check it out.
Suraya Omar you can go for nursing assistant (CNA) which is quicker since you only need a certificate. To be a nurse, you will have to go to nursing school which takes about 2 years.
Hey, Adanna! How do you recommend spreading the word of your crowdfunding fundraiser other than by facebook? I'm trying this route but can't seem to get any leverage! Thanks!
So I vaguely know information about this program and how it helps you pay for schooling I just don't know to what capacity and in what way so that would be something that you would need to talk to your specific branch of armed forces about.
Alfredo Gonzalez there Is the The Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) through the military. They will pay but of course you will owe them the years back.
Go to my search bar and type in personal statement and the videos I've dine in that should pop up. I believe there might be 3. I know for sure there are at a minimum 2.

Happy Sunday! Thank you for making this video. ❤️

You're welcome 😄

Widmarck Luberisse do you have to serve?
@@BenazirGhazal yes for about 4.5 to 5 years
@sofia Perez the average PA school is 70k and you would have to pay for it. IJS
Athena Marie what about it specifically makes going to the Navy/Army, not worth it?
Smart move 👍
Definitely redoing this vid, when i get into USAF!. Military is my way to PA school 😅..
Another good tip would be to research the PA schools you might want to go to and figure out if it is in your financial range.
That is great advice especially for those individuals that have a "financial" range. A lot of us jist try to get in and work on figuring out the whole payment thing later.
Paying 80-100k is in no working class family's range lol

Glad this was made because i have no backup support that could afford o help me pay for basically housing & just living necessities

I love your energy!
Well thank you! :)
Thanks for the video! I asked a question about payment options on another one of your videos before I saw this one! Great info!
Saw this at a perfect time! Good stuff
How many tests/quizzes/projects do you generally have in PA school in a week or a month? Of course it varies but what would you say roughly?
Thank you for your videos. Find them very helpful.
Your welcome and Thank you for watching ☺
doesn't fasfa cap at 20k a year? That still leaves like 15-20k out of pocket PER year. Private loans are no bueno and for the most part not worth.
I started a gofundme 2yrs in anticipation lol
Lol do it! Lol
I did in dec.
Jiron127 have you gotten any donations?
Yeymy Sosa It's a slow process. I'm my only donator so far lol
How can I do that

Adanna The PA oh i was talking about being a nurse for 2 years then going to PA school

Adanna The PA Thanks for the advice😄😄👍👍
What school is she enrolled in and what schools did she apply to?
If I can enter PA school at 23 should I? Or should I wait til 24 when I'm an independent and fafsa will actually do something. My parents make a hefty salary.
I don't think there's a difference
If I were you I would apply as soon I can. FAFSA considers you an independent when you are registered under a graduate school. With that being said, you'll be capped at a $20,500 unsub loan. If you need more you'll be encouraged to get a PLUS loan. Look into ALL your options though.
Girl you betta go head ON!! YOU TALKIN TUH ME!!!!
😊

I believe nobody should ever have to take out a loan for school if they just got their priorities straight!
That's definitely an option for some but not everyone can save the 30k+ a yr needed for PA school, but thanks for sharing this option.
No! Don’t do Wells Fargo 😤
I already have the bag saved to pay for my PA school just about full my problem is the school work smdh lol
As long as you stay focused and you keep yourself on a good schedule you should be fine with keeping up with and managing the school work
Ive been looking into Wells Fargo also, have you had any problems with them? I want to use them for my undergrad too. Thank you for all the information. You have really been a ton of help. I hoping to get into Yale because of their fully online program. It seems no other school offers that, which is very frustrating because Yale is so expensive.
Yale has a fully online PA program?
@@jessijamescollection2017 Yes and its amazing! You can stay in the city you live in and they set up all your clinicals. During the 28 week program you will need to visit Yale University 3 times. 1st for interview, 2nd timwe in-between your didactic an clinical years for a week and at the end for graduation. Im praying to get in but of course its Yale, one of the hardest schools to get into. You should check it out.
Do physician assistants perform surgery? I'd like to be a PA, but the thought of performing surgery isn't that intriguing to me
Emily Schuman some do! Some don’t. You have the freedom to choose what area you’d like to work in.
They don't perform surgery independently. They help suture and working on small surgical tasks.
does fafsa significantly lower cost for PA school? if you're from a low income family?
Do you recommend nursing or any other major to help get pce or hce hours
Suraya Omar you can go for nursing assistant (CNA) which is quicker since you only need a certificate. To be a nurse, you will have to go to nursing school which takes about 2 years.
Hey, Adanna! How do you recommend spreading the word of your crowdfunding fundraiser other than by facebook? I'm trying this route but can't seem to get any leverage! Thanks!
What about if you went to the air force and you have your Gib Bill ?
So I vaguely know information about this program and how it helps you pay for schooling I just don't know to what capacity and in what way so that would be something that you would need to talk to your specific branch of armed forces about.
Alfredo Gonzalez there Is the The Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) through the military. They will pay but of course you will owe them the years back.
It's actually FAFSA not FASFA. But great vid. Thanks for the info!
Th anks for that. Been saying that thing wrong since highschool! 😂. I believe the link in the description is right though. Good lookin out.
We know what she meant
Yeah I just wanted to confirm in case someone watching didn't know
Salina Nori Everyone says FASFA even though it's written FAFSA; Stop knit-picking...
@@AdannaThePA lol I've always said it that way! no worries we all get it!
Awesome Info too many ad rolls
what about personal essay tips
Go to my search bar and type in personal statement and the videos I've dine in that should pop up. I believe there might be 3. I know for sure there are at a minimum 2.
