How come Physician Assistants are more friendly than Nurse Practitioners?

Generally speaking I found NPs to be stuck up and PA-Cs to be friendly.

I have never found this to be true. There are people in either profession who are warm and friendly, and there are people in either professions who are cold, stuck up, etc.

I do not feel it has anything to do with the profession or the type of people who choose NP. You find people you don't like in every profession.

Because Nurse Practicioners think they are real doctors and therefore are snooty. Physician assistants know who they actually are.

I dont know either but don't PA's need more if not the same amount of schooling?? One shouldn't think they are better than the other...or their patients.

and PA's do alot more work than Drs and make half as much money.

your question stereotypes and shows your ignorance. you cannot judge an entire profession from one or 2 encounters.
