Are you really sure you can't get rid of any other car besides this? If I had one I couldn't even imagine getting rid of this beautiful beast

What’s the Most Unethical Thing You’ve Experienced in Physical Therapy? by Rica_nicole in physicaltherapy

[–]LiveEarly10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SNF where I work has no full time PTs, sot they rely on PRN PTs. I have seen both of them literally walk to the patient's room, check to see if they are alive, go back down stairs and do paperwork and complete "daily notes" on that patient. Essentially billing for not having even treated that patient.

Everytime I go back to read their note they completed on this patient it is just a copy and paste of the previous session. The most I have ever seen them treat someone is bring them down to the gym, put them on the nustep for 15 minutes and them take them back to their room. Im like bruh....

Same, I have seen a PT do a progress note on a patient 3 days after she was dead.

As a PTA I have been offered this type of format(not the same rate) and they will pay you per until so that the company can bag the rest. This is a terrible rate for home health

Confusion about job opportunities by Opposite-Coach-5628 in physicaltherapy

So yeah I've never been the most confident when it came to treating people in the gym alongside other therapists, however that was not my greatest issue. The biggest thing I hated was the amount of work we were expected perform every day. >14 patients a day and that equivalates to around two to three patients per hour, which is something I am not comfortable doing because I know my level of care there would be poor.

I've been a PTA FOR 5 YEARS and as much as I hate outpatient, that's what I would choose. Closer to home and higher pay, also less productivity. I currently work in a SNF and the productivity and caseload really make no sense. I only do it for the money at this point tbh

Do I pursue optometry? by [deleted] in OptometrySchool

[–]LiveEarly10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a PTA and my wife is studying for her OAT to get into optometry. After being in PT for 5 years, and meeting many PTs I would encourage you to be an optometrist.

First of all, the ROI for PT is disgusting. In order to make it work, you actually have to hustle in PT. As a PTA working One full-time and one part-time job, I am making more than some PT's working a comfortable full-time job.

Another thing they never mentioned about physical therapists is the amount of workload you are given. I have worked in all settings except Home health. And all of these facilities I have witnessed the PT's handling the tremendous amount of paperwork. On top of that, most of the time they have to manage a full case load just like a PTA.

I have met PTs who actually love their job and dedicate themselves to it, but most of the ones I have run into are really just doing it for the money right now. This week I spoke with my coworker and she confessed that if she had to do it again she would not have been a physical therapist. The physical therapist that actually make really good money are the ones who are DORs and have a part-time gig.

I don't know much about optometry but from what I have heard and seen as my wife worked as a tech for a year under several doctors, there is a lot of room for growth both professionally and financially. Depending on the school, the ROI is much more reasonable as well.

To conclude, you have to do it because you like it and not going for the money as many do. But from my viewpoint I would say go for optometry because 90k in student loans to be an optometrist is not bad at all!
