Should I go to PA school?

I am currently a dental hygienist and have been out of hygiene school for about 3 years now. I have had pretty good jobs, but find it difficult to find an office that really cares about the patient and not just their pocket (which is sooo frustrating); not to mention that dentists don't want to pay for medical, sick days, and forget about any contribution to disability or retirement. I also am finding myself increasingly bored with the same day to day cleaning the teeth that will be dirty exactly the same in 6 months, or 3 or 4. I absolutely enjoy patient care and enjoy work more when I feel like I am actually helping someone. I am kind of kicking myself because I wish I would have gone for nursing and eventually a nurse practitioner (which was my oringinal route before I went for DH). Now, I am thinking about maybe making a career change to becoming a PA. Is it worth it to go for it? I have a bachelors degree and all the course work to get in, but I am not sure. Does anyone have advice on the benefits and drawbacks of being a PA? Are there any RDHs out there that feel the same? Thanks!
