Nurse Practitioner or Plastic Surgeon?

Question

I've recently trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I was thinking either a plastic surgeon or a NP. Which one would you choose and why? Tell me the pros and cons.

Answer 1

Airline pilot - see the world.

Answer 2

depends what you want to do with it. If you want to work with autonomy, have your own practice, and possibly make a lot of money, then you can do that as a plastic surgeon. If you want to work closely with patients, then an NP. If you want to do humanitarian work you can do that as either an NP or plastic surgeon doing reconstructive surgery. It's up to you. However, it sounds like you're pretty young, so you have lots of time to figure it out.

good luck.
