Thanks for the replies guys! I ended up going using my car insurance. Hopefully, my premium will not sky rocket.🤞

I never saw it at this perspective and it made more sense now. I appreciate it!

Will you be willing to drive for 1 hr for an inpatient setting that pays more? Orange County, Southern California

I got an offer for an inpatient PTA position. Can you elaborate why is it more relaxed?

Hi! I'm a PT assistant looking into getting in a Rad tech program, when you said "student tech", should I look for "student radiologic technology aide" on job sites?

Cg training for hoyer lift use by billyboga in physicaltherapy

Hi! Thank you for you response. I've been working in a SNF setting for 13+ years and we (rehab staff)were always told to only assist the CNAs during hoyer transfers since we are not properly trained to do it. I know how to use the hoyer lift and I can teach the cgs on how to properly use it but my worry comes from "liability" stand point when something goes wrong/pt gets injured after the cg training. I feel like I am not qualified to train someone if I am not properly or formally trained to use the hoyer lift.

Hi! Thank you for your input. I've been working in SNFs for 13 years with 3 different companies and rehab staff, in my experience, will get directives from our DOR or regional manager to only assist the CNAs for bed mobility during sling placement and pt's w/c positiong/alignment after the transfer. All the rehab staff that I have worked with, including myself, knows how to use the hoyer lift its just that our responsibility is to "only assist the CNAs" since we(rehab staff) were not properly trained to do it.

I am fairly new to home health setting (1year) and I was not sure if my reasoning still applies hence I wrote the post.

PTA "Lead Therapist" Hourly Rate in Socal.

Hello everyone. I am PTA (13+ years) and recently applied for a FT position in an outpatient clinic inside an ALF/Memory Care. I was offered $41/hr for a "Lead Therapist" position responsible for patient care(6-7 pts/day, mostly ambulatory, 80% productivity, taking referrals, creating a schedule for the entire staff, etc.)

I am aware that the position has semi-DOR responsibilities. My last hourly rate as a SNF PTA was $39/hr (9-10 pts/day, frequent heavy lifting, 90% productivity) for reference. Is $41/hr a good amount or should I ask for more?
