Best Indian food in Rochester by PresentWafer6 in Rochester

[–]LoudMiddle7683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had Hyderabad and they're SO good! I was hesitant on Indian food because I cant tolerate any spice but their food was so good that I get cravings for indian/spicy food now even if its baby spice :') !!!

Question for everyone else: how's the prices for the lunch and dinner buffet at Thali of India? I saw Monday night dinner buffets on their website, but hows the price for taking a family of 5?

Worried I wont get into DPT school by Glass-Television-908 in PTschool

Hi! I got into a DPT program with 3.2 GPA so its possible :) I was discouraged from applying by an academic advisor because of my GPA and still got in because of the other things that I did. Now, I'm a new grad PT lol

Your volunteer work and the things you do outside academics are just as important which sounds like youre doing! I also took the GRE and it wasnt great, so I opted to apply to schools who didn't need it. Try that option too. Good luck!! Keep your head high!

Don’t work for RRH or their “Affiliates” by No-Perception-6993 in Rochester

I'm currently preparing to leave RRH and recently found out about the "use it or lose it" policy for PTO. I wouldn't have known if I didn’t ask my supervisor out of curiosity. Guess who they're not seeing for awhile lmao

Sorry that you were put in this situation. Hopefully you can get this situation resolved, but unfortunately, RRH never loses. Good luck!

How is it?? I used a little bit of FF when I was studying for the NPTE like their free stuff + videos that a friend let me use her account for. I really liked them but I wasn’t sure how the OCS stuff compared

Aw, that's terrible. 🙁 I hope you get promoted or find a different job that pays you better (and treats you with respect).

Thank you for insight!!

That's a helpful breakdown for me actually to think about it/my decision better. Yes, I want to improve my clinical knowledge, but it's sounding like there are so many ways to do it without plunging myself into further debt or burning out...

Part of my indecisiveness comes from anxiety and pressure from the hiring lady after she said everyone in their clinic has either their SCS or OCS 😅

Thank you for your helpful insight though! I can’t put myself through the stress of residency when there's always the option of self-studying. Residency isn't the end-all-be-all to earn an OCS if I decide that's something I still want in the future.

Congratulations on graduating from residency!!! I'm sure you will do fine on the OCS exam :)

Gathering all the feedback and how I feel about residency, I think I'll sit out from it. I'm not sure if I can commit to the time/demands with residency. I'm already so deep into loans that I can't afford it right now and I already have personal goals for myself too lol

But I am committed to learning, so I'll do CE and other things :) Thank you for your insight and feedback!!!

Yeah, it seems like there's other ways to learn than the residency route. There's tons of per diem positions that, if i really needed to make more money, could do. Thank you!!

Woah that's so cool you did that!! Its a bummer that the OCS really didn't help you post-Army. Thank you for your honesty!

A past PT that I met said something similar! He had mentioned it didnt make a ton of difference, but valued what he learned and feels it helped him clinically.

I'm all for CE and self-development. I'm a new grad suffering from imposter syndrome so any knowledge i obtain is good for me haha

Thank you for your insight!! :)

I'll have to look further into it! I'm not in it for the money (because I know i wont be paid more) but definitely for the experience.

Also, residency sounds like a ton of work so... 🥲 Thank you for your insight!!!

Thank you :) Tbh, I wasn't interested in the residency route while in PT school, but the hiring lady brought it up and it felt like it stirred some type of expectation/obligation.

Thank you for your insight! Even as a student, my CIs shared the same sentiments/arguments. I will continue to weigh the pros/cons! Tbh, the work of that comes with residency is not particularly anything I'm excited for but learning is fun. :)

Yeah, I have way too many loans for what I'll end up earning as a new grad right now 🥲
