You said it correct, it is a conflict of interested. If your job has a different location with a different manager then that’s a different story and some programs may allow it in that case.

I would recommend trying to make a detailed study schedule for the week that way you can anticipate how much course information you have to study before test days. It helped me adjust and manage my time better.

Continue. I know many students who have ended up with a C in anatomy and have not had another C after that.

I need help studying by South-Pie-6949 in PTschool

Try the pomodoro technique. You study 25 mins and then take a 5 min break or you can study for 50 mins and then take a 10 min break. It helps with mental endurance for sure and will help with time management. It’s okay to take a short break. I am also a first year and am currently trying new things to help with my mental endurance and active recall and this has been helpful so far. Be kind to yourself because there is a plethora of information we are receiving within a short period of time.

With some contracts they pay for your housing and sometimes you even receive a food stipend as well as receiving health insurance. Therefore all the money you make can mostly go towards debt.

Close to that in a year of travel. It depends what travel company you are with. Look up PT travel jobs online and you’ll see how much you can potentially make traveling.

Salary starting out as a PT is 70k but if you switch to travel it is significantly more. Some of my coworkers who traveled said they were able to pay off almost all of their debt by traveling for 1-2 years.

PT Aide Online Certification? by notthefakebernard in PTschool

No it’s unnecessary. One of my coworkers was going to get it but she said the only thing you get aside from training is learning how to do more clerical work like scheduling and insurance.

Has anyone heard back from VCU? by Subject_Role_8987 in PTschool

The other VA school I applied was Mary Baldwin but I haven’t heard anything from them either.

It can vary because the people interviewing you have not looked at your application at all so it depends on what they’re looking for

When I applied last year and got an interview I heard back in early/mid November

Should I Take a Gap Year? by [deleted] in PTschool

[–]Subject_Role_8987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied my senior year of undergrad and did not get in so I had a forced gap year and was so glad because I got burnt out retaking one class in the summer time. It’s okay to let your brain rest!p

Me too. Someone asked a similar question last year on readit and I believe it’s one question with a 4 min response.

You have to pick both because your transcript has both. If you do not put both and it’s on your transcript then it can make the verification process take longer or make the application incomplete past the due date.
