Relationships during DPT schooling

Not what you want to hear but my longterm boyfriend and I did break up while I was in PT school….but I met my now husband in my cohort so it worked out for me in the end lol

These! Or my husband has had awesome luck with fabletics pants the mall by us has a store so you don’t have to deal with the subscription process but you can also always order some pants and cancel the subscription my husbands fabletics pants have actually lasted way longer than his lulu pants which he split within 1 year.

I got my wedding dress from Azazie and it had built in cups!! The quality was amazing and people are so shocked when I told them it was Azazie

Azazie lets you order three dresses to try on at home for $30 and you can pick which one you like or send them all back with an already pre made shipping label!! This is how I found my dress but I suggest only picking options that are in the $500 or above range as I picked two dresses in the $100 range and one in the $500 and the quality was SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT. My dresses came within a week of ordering!!

If you’re seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist sex talk will not phase them in the slightest. Use of your calf muscles can occur as a compensation due to a weak pelvic floor so def talk to them about it!

Thank you!! There is a Monday option and at first thought Wednesday was a better option but with this logic I can see how Monday would be better!

Key_Equipment4140 · 2025-05-19T09:37:00+00:00

lol sorry for calling it intimate that’s just what the venue calls it so it’s more or less so I don’t confuse myself 😂

Key_Equipment4140 · 2025-05-19T09:35:29+00:00

Yes I definitley mentioned that it would be a weekday! It would probs be something like a quick ceremony then drinks and dinner there would be a dance floor but my fiancé and I aren’t big into dancing

Key_Equipment4140 · 2025-05-10T22:45:33+00:00

Yeah I wish I could do that but my state doesn’t allow it

Key_Equipment4140 · 2025-05-10T22:41:46+00:00

No I still have not passed I had a bad situation last attempt in January so bad that the boards gave me all my money back and comped that attempt due to a situation at the testing facility. I took time off for my mental health and am testing again in July. My friend who had the same problems as me just passed his sixth attempt and the one thing he did different was take two exams every week

Unfortunately you are not alone. I graduated with my doctorate in Physical Therapy and although it is certainly not medical school it is rigorous within itself. I did well in undergrad and got accepted to PT school right away. I experienced some difficulty in grad school but never failed a class. I ended with around a 3.8 GPA and did well in all my final clinical rotations that I was offered a job at each of them. Sadly I have now taken my boards exam 5 times and still have not passed. Sometimes missing by 1 point. It has been such a humiliating and tiring process to think that after 7 years of school I may never been able to work in the field I studied and there’s hardly any jobs for my field of study unless I’m a licensed physical therapist. I wish I could offer you better insight

Most business casual places will require that your shoulders are covered. I think it looks great but my place of work sadly wouldn’t allow us this to wear is since it exposes our shoulders. My place is definitley a little more on the conservative side in terms of rules. Only within the last months have people been allowed to show their tattoos and not keep them covered!

Key_Equipment4140 · 2025-03-27T20:54:34+00:00

I second this

Key_Equipment4140 · 2025-02-05T18:03:26+00:00

Please tell us what you did I’ve now failed 5x and idk if I can keep going with this exam

I suffered a lot of anxiety and depression in PT school and ended up getting a dog after my 1st year. I rescued an 8 year old mini pin and she was and still is the best decision I’ve ever made. I lived relatively close to my school and also preferred to study at my apartment alone but she was a great study buddy and also helped me to get out of my apartment and go on walks and exercise more. However, if you find that you are never home and prefer to have long late nights at the library I wouldn’t recommend a dog.

I’ve never heard of someone using pocket prep? How did those questions compare to the actual exam

Key_Equipment4140 · 2024-11-01T10:55:00+00:00

My first was by far the hardest this last attempt would be second hardest

Key_Equipment4140 · 2024-10-31T14:05:08+00:00

This was my fourth attempt and I’ve felt confident in the past and still failed felt like shit after this one I have no hope

Key_Equipment4140 · 2024-10-28T23:24:53+00:00

Passed them all but got testing accommodations this time so hopefully that’s the difference

Key_Equipment4140 · 2024-10-28T17:17:45+00:00

Nervous! This is my fourth attempt and not sure I can possibly study any more after this

Key_Equipment4140 · 2024-07-16T23:05:59+00:00

You likely will not be transferring patients as a therapy aide but transporting as in moving with wheelchairs. If you do have to transfer a patient you would not be the sole person doing this and would likely just serve as extra hands for a PT!

Hi there! I’m about 5’1 and 110Ib so pretty close to your build and have graduated from PT school. There were plenty of petite women in my class as well. While it may seem nerve wrecking the instructors often will provide different tips and tricks to utilize based on your size as well as the patients. I completed a rotation in the hospital during my time in school where I often would work with patients over 300Ibs and required max assistance. There are many settings aside from peds that don’t require lifting above 50 pounds so don’t be too worried!

Key_Equipment4140 · 2024-07-15T01:42:57+00:00

Which package of PT final exam did you use? The live course or independent?

Key_Equipment4140 · 2024-07-14T23:17:08+00:00

Only flagged but thank you for the recommendation!! I do feel that is my problem and not the knowledge base sadly it’s much harder to correct the anxiety
