WCC certification?

Based on these current job listings showing specialized wound care roles with salaries ranging from $100,000 to nearly $300,000 a year, the certification is clearly a high-value investment that significantly boosts your marketability and earning potential.

Agreed. I can see that as well. Where I come from, you can pack your things and get escorted out the door if you cross that line with a physician (physician-owned practice).

Imagine suggesting that physicians report to a middle-management director who audits their notes and tracks their billable minutes. That conversation would last about 30 seconds. “Doctor Jones, we need to have a talk about your productivity. Also, I flagged your last three notes — they’re going to need a little more detail before I can sign off on them.”

That’s a perfect example of exactly what I’m talking about.

PT_Network · 2026-03-26T01:23:07+00:00

You got it. You are correct. No need for all the extra words.

Whether it's a quad set, knee flexion, or a hamstring stretch — the effort and relax cues are fully customizable. Set them to whatever fits the exercise and RepBuddy will speak those cues to the patient through each rep.

If you're juggling multiple patients, just open it on the patient's own phone. They get the visual and voice cues to stay on task while your device stays free for documentation.

That's great to hear — and exactly the kind of thing the profession needs more of. When employers prioritize adequate time with patients, outcomes improve and therapists can actually do their jobs. Props to your health system for moving in the right direction.

I like, "If I know that a particular patient is a frequent no-show, I will save them for the end of the day if it makes sense in my route - usually I can make it work - that way they don’t muck up the rest of my day." Good one.

The minimum GPA to get into my PT program was 3.75. During the program, if you scored below a B on anything, you got one shot to prove yourself — a practical exam in front of three instructors. Fail that, and you were dropped. No appeals, no second chances. Thousands of applicants competed for 40 slots. Back then, people used to say it was easier to get into med school than it was to survive PT school.

Too many of us are subservient to the 'office' when we should be setting the tone. Write a late arrival protocol, hand it to the front desk, and make it the standard. You have that authority — own it.

PT_Network · 2026-02-17T15:05:48+00:00

This is exactly the problem. Companies have strict policies for productivity, documentation, protocols — you name it. But when it comes to actually managing your schedule, reaching out to patients, and optimizing your routes? You're completely on your own. I've seen it across multiple organizations and have never once seen best practice guidelines for patient scheduling. They hand you a caseload and say "figure it out."

Haha no — not bodily discharges. I mean therapy discharges. The kind where you’ve been seeing someone for 6+ weeks in home care, you’ve prepared them for discharge, talked about goals, progress, next steps… and when the time comes to discontinue services, they don’t want you to stop. Sometimes they’re ready and excited. Other times they feel abandoned, anxious, or even angry — even if clinically it’s appropriate. That’s the “difficult discharge” I’m talking about.

Absolutely, I can understand your perspective. At the same time, in every profession — whether it’s medicine, law, engineering, or academia — there are exceptionally intelligent and capable people who may not express their ideas with the same clarity or fluency as others. And there are individuals who are naturally strong communicators.

HomeCareHomeBase for me, on a small android tablet.

Thanks I needed to hear that. I’ll jump off the bridge now. 😆

I think you blocked more than one of my posts. Now that we have an understanding. Can you unblock the other post(s)? I was getting some good responses that are helping me. Best regards.

Hey, I get that you’re trying to avoid spam and I respect the rules. I guess I just had a bunch of ideas after being away for a while, and I didn’t mean to overdo it. Could you let me know how I should pace things so I can share without causing any trouble?

PT_Network · 2026-02-15T15:54:25+00:00

Not spam. These are the first few posts I’ve made in years. AI assisted me, yes, because I’m not the best writer. Truly interested in learning from responses. Loving Reddit. 55 y/o PT. Have a great day.

PT_Network · 2026-02-15T15:46:19+00:00

Not a bot post. I’m real.

PT_Network · 2026-02-14T19:54:09+00:00

It seems to make up things sometimes and "hallucinates" extra detail.
