Both Anesthesia and Nursing are essential components of the healthcare system and offer rewarding career paths. The choice between the two depends on personal interests, desired level of involvement in patient care, and preferences regarding medical versus holistic patient management. Anesthesia is centered on pain management and ensuring patient comfort during surgical procedures. Anesthesiologists or anesthesia practitioners play a crucial role in administering anesthesia, monitoring patients during surgery, and managing their recovery in the postoperative period.Nursing involves providing holistic care to patients, including assessment, treatment, and advocacy. Nurses work closely with patients, families, and other healthcare professionals to deliver patient care across various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and community healthcare.

A Physical Assistant's position is frequently confused with that of a nurse practitioner. While they perform the same function, their training and specialisation options are vastly different. A Physical Assistant receives general medicine training and is educated in a disease-centred curriculum approach similar to that of a medical student. They can also specialise in a variety of fields after receiving their degree.Nurse practitioners, on the other hand, are trained in advanced nursing roles using a patient-centred education and practice model. In addition, before beginning their graduate programme, they usually choose a primary speciality and work with that specific patient population.
