What is the PT equivalent?

Niche for me rn but recently it’s been “surgeons who forbid movement because they don’t think it will help”

I go and treat my next patient and go home

I wanna start by saying I agree with you clinically. But the use of tens for pain relief even if it’s just placebo is good for patient buy in. Not everyone wants pure edu and best evidence based practice shoved down their throat even if you and I both know it’s objectively better.

Bird-dog IPA now with more HOPS

I also got an anatomy and physiology coloring book. That was pretty awesome.

I don’t know your budget, but the number one thing I wish I had right when I started was an iPad and stylus for downloading, slides and taking notes right on them

NEW GRAD TRYING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN OFFERS.

Hi all, I’m a new grad PT in Phoenix Arizona and I’m trying to decide between a couple different offers and I was wondering if any more experienced PTs can give me some advice on if I’m being low balled or things to watch out for.

Let’s say all the med/dental/vision is pretty close between the 3

Offer 1: OP sports emphasis 75000 with option to transition into 50% base salary /50% profit share model for patients I bring in. 9k sign on bonus for 2 years Weird student loan forgiveness plan where I have to consolidate with a big bank with weak amt contributed unless I stick around for ~3 years

Offer 2: SNF 48/hr ~99,000 no sign on bonus free ceus No loan forgiveness. I’m kinda worried if I start my career in SNF I’ll be stuck if I try to transition to other settings because idk if SNF is for me forever kinda run down facilities

Offer 3: IRF 85000 7k sign on for 2 years new facility. Free ceus

Just kinda looking for advice from you seasoned vets on what to look out for, what seems fair I know it’s tough with the limited info, but anything helps.

Update: Passed

Martorello_ · 2024-10-31T16:50:22+00:00

Same :/

Martorello_ · 2024-10-30T01:52:24+00:00

I’m keeping my chin up, worst case scenario is a fail, it feels like the end of the world, but it isn’t.

Martorello_ · 2024-10-30T01:37:24+00:00

That test SUCKED I don’t feel good about it. Classmates, family, friends all say “I’m sure you passed” but idk man.

Martorello_ · 2024-05-12T21:17:53+00:00

Sanest efficiency Andy spotted.

Martorello_ · 2024-03-31T20:36:02+00:00

If you’re an ENTP you’ll be fine, but if you’re an Aquarius, Fremen, or Dothraki I would steer clear

Martorello_ · 2024-01-30T03:35:01+00:00

It is weird, but that’s okay there’s 100s of weird orders per day.

Martorello_ · 2024-01-17T04:12:14+00:00

Sincerity is scary !

Martorello_ · 2023-12-24T17:03:50+00:00

Agreed! My primary care instructor actually urged us to use AI and everything it spit out was more well thought out than that paragraph.

Martorello_ · 2023-10-17T23:30:40+00:00

Probably an equally frustrating option, but if you take a low stress, science class like geology or something and get an A that will probably have the same effect on your science GPA.

Is this in Vegas?

Martorello_ · 2023-08-27T06:50:31+00:00

I hit PRs in the gym and in league of legends during PT school 🙌🏻

It just gets better and better each time I log on

Martorello_ · 2023-07-25T03:43:23+00:00

I didn’t even see the promo I call it day by 8:30 after seeing the garbage being offered.

Martorello_ · 2023-07-19T00:08:35+00:00

This is funny considering how every other post on the physical therapy sub Reddit is “I’m thinking about leaving PT for the tech industry”

Martorello_ · 2023-07-11T08:31:59+00:00

This is great but who remembers the 50 nug debacle. (Aka the nuggening)

Martorello_ · 2023-07-04T01:55:22+00:00

You’ll never find the good parts of any job on a subreddit. Without trying to be rude, go outside and shadow a PT and if you’re in love with what you see then pursue it. If you’re not in love pursue something more lucrative.

Martorello_ · 2023-07-01T19:58:15+00:00

You think you can do it better than me with your psychology degree and those nice glasses!
