[@jordanwinders8717]

This video is amazing!! I'm in PA school right now, so I love seeing Day In The Life videos from different specialties!

[@samingoshow]

Good luck in PA school! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video!

[@nailsbyLP]

Ahh my dream profession :') I am a current pre-PA student, and this video is so inspiring. Thank you so much for showing us your day-to-day activities!

I have a question is pre- pa before pa school??and do u take it during ur undergrad years??

[@toxicmaniax5719]

@@StarjeIly. you can major any in undergrad degree but typically need to fulfill patient care hours, prereqs and GRE. Then apply.

This was so informative! I’m starting PA school in September (hopefully) and you are the first person I’ve seen to actually show what it’s like to work as a PA! Thank you, I’m more excited now than before 😊 great video btw!❤

I love this Video! I’m working on my PA and my specialty is Dermatology. Your such a great PA. Covering your doctor in such an ethical way. That’s how you do it! So amazing.

Hey Sami, I’m enjoying all of your content and I’m glad to see some PA stuff too! Hope to see more! ❤️

[@samingoshow]

Def way more PA content coming! 🙌 thank you

[@MNP208]

I worked in an Urgent Care. Nothing that happens there shocks me. I'm always surprised how nice these UC units are that I see on KZbin. Many of them actually have break rooms! Ours was a dump.

Thank you for making this video! This is my first time watching your channel. I’m a current PA student and am wondering what life after school looks like. So, thank you!

[@samingoshow]

Thank you! Life is great if you learn to manage your finances well and you have the right tools to set yourself up for finanical independence! Because medicine is filled with burnout!

I love this day in the life...wonderful video. I've been more and more interested in the PA program but with me being 27, is it too late to start school? I haven't being able to go school but i love to help people. I think this would be a great career since you can work right after school without having to go through years of residency.

[@XOCruz]

Hey there! I just want to share my own experience and hopefully, it'll help you with your decision. This year I turned 26 and decided to go back to school to finish my undergrad because I realized that my dream is to help people and I love medicine. The thought of being a PA never left my mind since High School so here I am finishing my B.S and then PA school, It's never too late! PA school is about 2 or 3 years so the only difference will be that you'll be 30 and still wondering the 'what if' if you get stuck thinking "is it too late?" or "am I too old?" I do suggest reaching out to local PAs and asking to shadow them. Good luck & you got this!!

[@erickvon8752]

Age should not deter you from pursuing a career and gaining knowledge. If you are financially stable and are prepared to go back to school, why not. Even if you have a family, it will be challenging but not impossible. I am 24 years old. I am leaning to becoming a veterinarian, but PA sounds interesting, and I wouldn't mind doing that for a career. I still live with my parents and don't have a child to take care of beside my 4 dogs and turtles. I work at a small private animal hospital as a veterinary assistant. I interact with the patients and owners, but pay is low even a RVT pay is just barely above an assistant, especially for the amount of things they do. I wish there was a PA like job for Veterinary medicine.

[@KevinJ-o9c]

Don't think about the time. I'm 34 and going back. Plans to be in PA school at 40 is my goal.

[@toporisnash1324]

Never to late!! You can do this and still have many years to enjoy this career after school

[@curiouslypeach]

You have like 30 years until retirement age! Of course you're not too old. Don't let being 27 stop you. People start earlier and much later. You do you

[@Moonchild98]

Love the PA content!

Definitely more coming!!!

Hey Sami! I love your content. New grad PA in Las Vegas here. For a future video, do you think maybe you could show us how you would chart defensively in that scenario that your colleague experienced? 😄

[@samingoshow]

There is a video coming up all about documentation! We are editing it so give it a few weeks!

[@abandonrz]

Do you think you can do a an example video on charting? I'm a Chiropractic Assistant atm and I chart but I feel like I should be doing more. Especially since I'm considering to go to PA school.

[@samingoshow]

What kind of information do you want about charting??

[@jamaicag4966]

Where would you document this in the chart? At the end in the "plan" section

[@samingoshow]

Yup! Anywhere on the chart is fine! In the plan works just as well!

[@avarianne2442]

What’s the difference between a urgent care PA, emergency medicine PA, and trauma PA

[@samingoshow]

UC PA works in urgent care, which is not in a hospital facility. Typically it’s an outpatient clinic with less acute patients. ER PA works in the ER, which is always in a hospital. Trauma PA treats only trauma patients in the hospital.

[@kaylnnnn7155]

How many patients did you see daily?

[@samingoshow]

It really varies. Sometimes 20ish on a slow day. Mostly in the 30-40ish patients a day. But keep in mind, it’s not low acuity patients. We function almost like a mini ER.
