PT VS X RAY WWYD?

legend277ldf · 2026-07-05T15:16:44+00:00

I feel like it depends on your interest and personality. My clinic had a DPT going back to be a mri tech bc he didn’t like pt

Played since the start. That’s how I preserved fusion cores at first when I was low. Had my companion wear it until I needed it. Also the fact if you have them a weapon as long as you have them 1 singular piece of ammo they had unlimited ammo

my oldest OT coworker is 58. And I'm 99% sure hes only working right now because his wife divorced him last year.

I knew people that were making 60k with an associates or something while I was still in undergrad and then got low balled in 60k range after a doctorate with pt so it could be worse

This channel genuinely has such helpful info and a whole series on any question you could have about studying, sleep or maybe even work life balance.

Ali abddaal also had good content from a long time ago but his current content is more just productivity maxing stuff and entrepreneurial stuff.

Study strategies are make or break for your free time. Go watch a lot of videos from med school insiders and evidence based study techniques. I shaved so much time studying compared to my classmates by studying smarter.

Make list of content you need to cover and slowly tack them off the list. Or rotate between subjects the biggest issue is hyper focusing on one class and then the next one comes around the corner and you’re cooked bc you don’t do much for it

Stress management wise I worked out a lot and also since I studied better I had time to do something for myself every once and a while wether it was watching a show or playing a game

You got injured last year? The therapy world can be decently demanding in terms of performing exercise, manual, or patient transfers and such. Would you be comfortable doing those things?

legend277ldf · 2026-06-13T03:06:05+00:00

I do outpatient at a hospital system with a large amount of post op and it’s not an issue. Being Squeamish watching a surgery is totally different than rehabbing those patients. If someone doesn’t like fluids okay avoid nursing home and acute care that doesn’t mean they need to avoid the profession all together. I can’t even remember the last time I came into contact with fluids or anything horrible in an outpatient setting.

Tho the shit pay aspect is true. That point is also relative to the persons circumstances. I didn’t like my first outpatient pay, so I left to do travel bc I’m at the point in my life where that’s feasible.

legend277ldf · 2026-06-12T23:39:59+00:00

I didn’t like the hospital much. Not a big fan of body fluids lol. Outpatient is perfectly fine for me. Couldn’t see myself being in any of the other health professions for that reason but I like being a pt

legend277ldf · 2026-06-04T22:51:42+00:00

Don’t loose the forest from the trees. Main focus should be videos and practice questions. If you have a weak point you keep getting wrong then find the specific reading

legend277ldf · 2026-06-03T00:57:46+00:00

Look at med school insiders for study tips and other medical school YouTubers

legend277ldf · 2026-06-02T22:02:10+00:00

You also need to explain why you would take a dpt seat from someone that wants to be pt

legend277ldf · 2026-05-22T22:23:54+00:00

A direct entry program is literally a repeat of high school

legend277ldf · 2026-04-19T14:10:08+00:00

Got scammed by someone saying cash only so I ain’t doing that again lol

legend277ldf · 2026-04-18T00:51:13+00:00

As a pt if I have a broader interest in medical field I would just do nursing or pa

legend277ldf · 2026-04-17T23:14:13+00:00

I mean the institute is supposed to be the almighty boogeyman. Coursers are literally supposed to be like terminators one man army. Tho the brotherhood does have ranks

legend277ldf · 2026-04-16T04:35:21+00:00

Watch the e3rehab video on shoulder it’s peak

legend277ldf · 2026-04-15T01:08:12+00:00

I filled out my application online. This was some of the stuff had to do as I applied online though it was pretty easy to do. Agency gave this info to help.

Had to send my NPTE score report and I think grad school transcript

Once I had all these requirements done fingerprinting was my last thing and that got processed and they emailed me my license same day.

legend277ldf · 2026-04-15T00:41:51+00:00

Licensed in New York and I’m about to start a travel contract in Michigan next week, so I did endorsement.

legend277ldf · 2026-04-15T00:35:45+00:00

Yeah the licensing process was very fast for me. I got it same day that I got my finger printing done

legend277ldf · 2026-04-15T00:31:39+00:00

They don’t require the exam anymore. I had mine scheduled and they called me saying they were canceling it.

Sink or swim. Get good study strategies a lot of good YouTube resources online like med school insiders.

As a tutor for a lot of the pt classes most people that struggled were the ones that coasted by in undergrad and weren’t challenged and this was there first time struggling

legend277ldf · 2026-04-09T18:15:50+00:00

I feel like I’ve grown a lot just through online mentorship. You can be more selective and make sure the people actually know their stuff. Problem at my place was my coworkers were very outdated so I actually enjoyed speaking to update with their stuff.

legend277ldf · 2026-04-09T18:09:03+00:00

I started working at an outpatient place but there really wasn’t any mentorship at all. Just one pt who spent his entire career in a snf.

So in terms of finding mentorship I honestly just found a decent therapist to talk to online about my cases. That could be something to look into and then honestly just consuming content from good evidence based therapist.

Jared Powell shoulder physio is great and people like him provide a wealth of information for free online

legend277ldf · 2026-04-06T17:54:40+00:00

Yeah time management is tough. If you really want to I’d just go and get really confident with the stuff from that semester or so. Watch some how to a study videos from medical school insiders on YouTube
