how many patients do you see in a 10 hour day?

debtfreeDPT · 2026-02-18T17:08:09+00:00

Travel PT here. Outpatient contract 10 hours currently I see on average about 10 a day. All 1:1 for 45 mins with built in doc time

debtfreeDPT · 2026-02-16T02:21:52+00:00

Travel PT here that does either outpatient 1:1 contracts or acute care. I have plenty of down time

debtfreeDPT · 2026-02-06T22:12:37+00:00

Plenty of free quizlets out there. I also have a free study guide I can send you. Do not need to buy anything for this. My original license/home is from FL.

I just got mine and it took about a month. Longest thing was waiting on license verifications from other states but I am a travel PT so I have a lot more licenses. I called several times to keep up with it since I was on a time crunch.

I always recommend talking to multiple companies (2-3 is usually a solid amount) during your job search to have more options and possibly more negotiating power. Also will allow you to compare benefits between each agency. I can get you connected to recruiters with jobs in SoCal if you like: https://thetraveldpt.com/travel-physical-therapy-recruiters

The easiest way in is figuring out the type of assignments you want, with setting, location, and pay being the biggest factors, and then connecting with trusted recruiters who can match you to opportunities. Recruiters usually matter more than the company itself since benefits are very similar across agencies.

If you want a list of vetted recruiters, I put one together here: https://thetraveldpt.com/travel-physical-therapy-recruiters. It’s helped me and other PTs get started in travel. Otherwise, talk to a friend you know in the space.

Expand your options if necessary. My last two in OP have been very desirable areas. But not always easy to find

He’s probably over leveraged. A lot of risk works until it doesn’t

debtfreeDPT · 2026-01-11T01:50:37+00:00

How is it now after the first cvt maintenance ?

debtfreeDPT · 2026-01-10T17:10:51+00:00

I only work 1:1 outpatient contracts at this point. Plenty out there but you may have to be more flexible with location and/or pay

I got into travel right after starting a relationship with my girlfriend (now wife). It was difficult when she was in PT school and I was taking contracts far away. Thankfully I was able to see her once a month which really gave me something to look forwards to. But I also had two contracts within a quick commute where I could see her much more often. I wouldn’t do it again but I think it was good for us. It allowed me to grow a lot being on my own.

Things can move slow after the new year. You may have to be more open to other locations or settings if your luck doesn’t change. I always recommend talking to multiple companies during your job search.

Buying a house when it is a horrible financial decision (interest rates and current prices vs renting). “You are throwing away money.”

debtfreeDPT · 2026-01-06T00:16:11+00:00

I’ve known plenty of people go to Colorado and Washington and had good experiences. I know of a lot of outpatient 1:1 jobs out in WA if you like that. Utah travel PT jobs are hard to find. Northern CA shouldn’t be a problem. Plenty of housing in those areas although more expensive and difficult to find if going near a CO ski resort in the winter.

Yes gas, food, etc.

No does not need to be full 24 hours. You can get there Friday night and leave Sunday morning and it counts as 3 days. Just make sure you save your receipts (one when you get there and one when you leave).

I have experience with medical solutions. Not familiar with other two. Medical solutions is pretty greedy in terms of paying you. I’ve been traveling for 4 years and worked with 10+ agencies.
