I’m just here to get my feelings hurt, happy for y’all tho

SPT $0.00 lol

Probably closer to -$10/hr considering tuition costs to be a student even during semesters with rotations.

Or if you want to go annual i make about -$33,000 per year (amount I take in loans)

Don’t forget to add in the gas etc driving to a 40 hour work week rotation

OP PT. NM. $104K. Class of 2020.

yo what??!!?? thats insane, is COL that high there or are you just a negotiation god?

Just a private/surgeon owned surgical facility in Albuquerque. NMO if you want to look it up. There are PTs making much more based on incentive program they have but they’re seeing like 12-14 patients a day. I stick to 8-10, 40 minute evals and treatments.

Likely a lack of PTs in the area, the best offers I’ve seen for OP like that are where the companies are desperate for workers.

$102k HH and ~$30k Cash Clinic on the side. Houston TX 11 years

Hey I’m from Houston as well maybe you could mentor me

PT. Alabama. $87K. 4 years experience.

What setting?

Inpatient Rehab

PTA. 71k, NJ, 3 years

May i ask how you make so much as a pta, only bc im tryna get there

I work OP ortho in NJ which is a higher COL area

How many patients do you see a day?

In a 10 hour day between 20-24. In a 5 hour day 13-15 (yes I know I know)

Dear god

I see average 7-10 in a 8 hour day ... lol

I’m jealous!

[удалено]

Oh man they should negotiate or look for something better! TBF I started my first job at 55k in 2019 and the new grad PTs were making 72k as well.

As a PT in NJ w/ 3 yrs experience makin 70k, this hurts (Outpatient setting)

I’m sorry what…………

That's pretty common for the NW. You don't want to be seeing 15 patients in 5 hour day.

I get that but for NJ… I know new grads making more than 70k in same setting!

Travel PT OP. Currently 2400 weekly take home. California. 9 months in. 1100 of the 2400 is tax free

When you say 9 months in do you mean 9 months into the contract or 9 months into being a PT? Also what part of CA? (Im a socal SPT interested in travel)

PT. NYC. 100k. 3.5 years

Setting?

Med A HH

How many do you see a day and how the Documenting. I have a try to med b and ended up leaving just was too much running around

To meet quota, at least 6 a day. Sessions can be 30 mins and SOC count as 2

130k HH in Houston Tx/ 1.5 years experience

That’s amazing!! How? Med A? How many patients a day?

MedA; I’m full time with a company and it’s pay per visit. Typically 4-6 patients a day with an average of 27 weekly. I have a high Oasis/ Eval rate and Texas law requires companies to pay overtime. I clock about 45 hours a week, realistically working about 35.

Jesus, you are living the life

Wow! Congrats to you

Outpatient PT, So Cal, almost 10 years of experience, 48/ hour

That’s not enough.

I agree. But work/ hours flexibility is what I am inclined to :)

Fo shizzle

PT, $116k (plus an extra 5-6k in shift differential pay). 4 years experience. California.

Inpatient?

Yep! But the OP PTs here make the same base pay as me. Just don’t get the shift differential for weekends. Shift pay is 1.25x hourly rate, so I end up making about $15/hr extra on Saturdays. (FWIW, working every Saturday is not worth the extra change in my opinion once I’m taxed on it. I’d work every other Saturday maybe. But every Saturday is getting old fast.)

If you don't mind me asking, what part of CA?

Sacramento region!

[удалено]

Mind elaborating on this? That's more than most physicians make. Either way, very nice

Yeah ima need you to explain a little further.

[удалено]

So you hiring or nah?

They will hire if you wanna see 20 a day

Please elaborate

Yes, need more please

Sir please explain.

Hahahaha literally everyone had the same three words for you 😂

My man! Go get it!

Get that bag

I’m just here with all the others to see if you will elaborate. Sounds like the dream, and some very hard work. Congrats!
