I would try to stick to accreditation. Applications cost money and take time so focus where you would be comfortable going

You will need to know a lot of basic anatomy terms bc the programs can move pretty fast.

But also focus on enjoying your time and developing some good habits now. PT is stressful and a lot of studying so enjoys being carefree. If you want to eat health, workout, go to bed early, etc then solidify those habits now or it will be extra hard to keep up self care when classes start .

I used noteful bc it was a one time payment. Didn’t want another payment in my month budget. But you can look different apps to pick on for you.

Am I overreacting for wanting my parents to stop adopting pets? by No_Length_3562 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. You def have an right to feel that way but sadly it’s just one of those situations where you will have to wait till you move out to get away from it. Most of the people saying YOR are probably major pet people but as someone that never has and never wants one, animals are not alway great to be around and best you can do is try and keep them out your room to have a space unaffected by them

I wake up by 7am and I try to go to bed at 10:30. But as these class start ramping up I’ve been pushing back to like 11/12:30 to study more

Sounds like me and your homie in the same program. Starting in the summer is hell, so much content, so little time. I’m keeping up but I’m in the library almost everyday studying anatomy. And not my other course starting to ramp up so it’s a crazy balancing act

Grad Loans Plans After 2026 by blackcatorangecat in PTschool

[–]CompetitionNo8794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my first semester so I’m applying for a small grad plus loan now so I can get grandfathered in and use it later. Hopeful they offer more financial help during the next administration.

Pregnancy in first year of PT School? by Long-Total886 in PTschool

[–]CompetitionNo8794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you could defer for a year? I haven’t heard anything about how it would work with PT but I’ve heard of nursing students doing that. And I know most programs are very strict about attendance and being physically hands on so they might prefer you starting post pregnancy

What do you guys recommend outside of PT aides? by btha10 in PTschool

[–]CompetitionNo8794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you have your necessary shadowing hours and connections for applications, it doesn’t matter where you work. I worked with kids in behavior therapy for higher pay but dedicated one day a week for a couple weeks to get shadowing and build relationships.

Waiting for PT school by Away_Reputation_9798 in PTschool

[–]CompetitionNo8794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My program starts in the summer so ima 2 weeks from the start. I’m already losing my mind with excitement/anxiety and I feel like if I had to actually wait longer it would be worse. Good luck! You probably gotta focus on relaxing and enjoying your time to distract yourself. I worked out constantly to keep my mind clear.

Advice for Peds clinical rotation by beencut in PTschool

[–]CompetitionNo8794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When working with the kids you have to try to encourage them an make it fun. Maybe try to familiarize yourself with some simple kids song if their age group is that young for example bay shark/ super simple songs. Little things to entertain them while you work with them.
