About me:
I’m Michele Neskey, aka The Posh PA. Welcome to my channel! My mission is to provide personalized guidance, education, and motivation to build confidence and promote wellness for aspiring physician assistants and beyond.
Having been a PA for 17+ years and helped hundreds of students gain acceptance into PA school, I understand the admissions process. I know what they are looking for, and I can help you tailor every component to make you shine, giving you the BEST chance of getting accepted to a program. But it doesn't end there. I create personalized plans for PA students and practicing PAs including test-taking strategy for the PANCE, contract negotiations, and tools to overcome and prevent provider burnout.
My goal is to get you into a physician assistant (PA) school & survive the rigorous program, help you prevent burnout as a practicing PA, and help you take care of yourself so you can be the best version of YOU for your patients, family, and most importantly YOU!

If you have any questions let me know :

Soooo. I'm enrolled for the fall to take prerequisites for PA programs here in NY. I already have a non science bachelors. I'm also in a patient care tech traning program that ends around when classes start. My goal is to work part time and get PCE hours while I'm in school. It will take me 2 years to get through all my prerequisites. The whole journey will take me 5 years if everything goes as planned. The only thing is I'm 48 so I'll be 50 when/if I get accepted to PA school. Am I nuts to attempt this at my age? Have you met older students in PA programs? Thank You.

[@theposhpa]

You are definitely NOT nuts! If it is your dream, go for it. I have definitely had older students in PA programs and they add a lot of value and experience.

[@estelavictoria-cordero2418]

You are not nuts because I am not nuts either. I am 57 and will apply for this next cycle. Go for it!!!

[@niralivaidya8968]

Hi Michele I have done my bachelor in healthcare leadership. Will that be considered for PA school bachelor degree prerequisite ?

[@kishadanyelle2183]

Do you think it makes sense for people in their mid to late 40' s to apply. I won't be able to apply for about 3-4 years. If I do get in, I won't be done until I'm 49 - 50 years old. It just seems so far away.

[@theposhpa]

I know, but think about it..even if you graduate when youre 50, you can still practice for many years!!

[@elizbethkieffer6887]

How does it work if I want to apply in May, but I’ll need to take my last microbiology in the summer? Should I wait to apply until later then?

[@theposhpa]

Check if the programs will allow you to apply with it in progress. Most allow one.

[@mariahreyes3517]

I just finished medical assistant school and I want to apply to PA school but I have a BA in Communication can I still apply to PA school? what do you recommend?

[@theposhpa]

It’s okay! You just need to be sure you have the prerequisites for PA programs

[@beautykreyol]

Do you need to have a bachelor degree to be considered for PA school first or if you are a graduate nurse can you still apply please?

[@theposhpa]

Yes you need a bachelors, but if you are a graduate nurse you would already have one correct?

[@beautykreyol]

Yes I have my BSN in nursing (graduated)

[@briang1310]

Am I able to request my official college transcripts now?

[@theposhpa]

I would wait until the new cycle opens

[@briang1310]

@@theposhpa Unfortunately I requested them and received them. So hopefully they transfer over. Thank you!

[@theposhpa]

@@briang1310 They should! If you did it before the cycle closed you should be fine.

[@NN-ko8fu]

This maybe a little misleading but not everyone will get in on their first try.. the number of seats vs applicants 🤔🤔🤔.. and that's ok..

[@theposhpa]

You are correct. Not everyone gets in the first time and its totally okay!

[@fukusamon4277]

Ive got 4000hrs of prehospital 911 patient care. A new paramedic career. And a military vet in medical job (public health/prev med) what else can i add other than just finishing my degree in biochem to strengthen my application. Sorry if im incoherent its the benadryl.

[@theposhpa]

Thats awesome experience! Volunteer work, shadowing and leadership all help.
