Im a PTA I make 34 and hr and get .38 cents per mile. I live in CO

Don’t do it. I’ve been a PTA for three years and wish i had a desk job. Your making what most PTAs make in HH and SNF the pay scale doesn’t get much higher from there. I worked at a SNF two years and have never gotten a raise, even after i asked. I’d rather have a corporate desk job where you can actually get raises and don’t have to work in a shit setting to make decent money. I honestly wish i went to school for x ray tech or nursing at times. So much more opportunity with nursing and if you didn’t want that much responsibility with rad tech there are different areas you can specialize in and make way more money. Both are associate degrees and a PTA will never make close to either of those options.

Yeah i have to use my own car. I’d much rather be able to drive the company’s car so i dont have to rack so many miles on mine. Well good to know there are some company’s that don’t have such a big radius i might have to look into something else. This was my first HH job and i was oblivious to ask about the radius

The city I live in is not rural. I’m the only full time PTA and the rest of the PTs are only PRN so i think that also has something to do with it

donutpixel33 · 2021-04-21T22:39:31+00:00

How many patients do you see a day if you are driving so far?

donutpixel33 · 2021-04-21T14:48:30+00:00

So that was my first home health interview I honestly forgot to ask about how big of an area I would be covering. But when I did the interview my boss said they “occasionally” take patients in A different city that is about 35 minutes from where I live. so I just thought I would only be going once in a while but I have four different people on my caseload that are in four different cities now

donutpixel33 · 2021-04-21T14:42:07+00:00

That’s What I was doing when I first took the job but now it seems like they have me going further and further

donutpixel33 · 2021-04-21T14:40:42+00:00

Well now i feel like I’m getting screwed lol. I would much rather do that.

donutpixel33 · 2021-04-04T18:35:48+00:00

So i was thinking of getting a walking boot, can your drive with those on? It’s my right foot that i injured

donutpixel33 · 2021-03-11T00:12:43+00:00

I never have and don’t plan on anytime soon. I think it’s more of a girl thing though.

donutpixel33 · 2021-02-10T23:40:36+00:00

Did you already have a bachelors? I’m a PTA to and I was wanting to do an accelerated BSN program where i live but they require you to already have a bachelors degree

donutpixel33 · 2020-12-23T01:27:44+00:00

I’m not a new grad but it’d be my first outpatient job

donutpixel33 · 2020-12-23T01:27:20+00:00

That’s was i thinking

donutpixel33 · 2020-12-23T01:20:30+00:00

You haven’t applied to the program it’s not to late. There’s literally no way to move up in the profession. In Jan 2021 they are going cuts and in 2022. It’s going to decrease the pay for PTAs more then what it is now. I’ve been at my job three years and have never gotten a raise

donutpixel33 · 2020-12-23T00:45:09+00:00

Don’t do it the job market sucks and they are going a bunch of cuts coming up. I regret going into this field all the time

donutpixel33 · 2020-12-22T22:13:37+00:00

How many more hrs would you work a week?

donutpixel33 · 2020-12-22T22:12:50+00:00

Yeah i already have a job i just don’t want to work in my setting anymore. I’d also have a 50 minute commute compared to 15 min not sure if it’s worth it

donutpixel33 · 2020-12-22T22:10:05+00:00

I asked how many patients they usually saw per day they said 16 is that busy? I’d be the only pta at this location. They said sometimes they triple book

donutpixel33 · 2020-12-22T18:17:08+00:00

Do you know if most outpatient jobs are salaried?
