How many months into her pregnancy should a physical therapist work?

We Answered:

Most of my co-workers have worked up until they delivered...and some of them remained on the medical unit (where they had to help transfer patients) and they did not have any complications (other than being uncomfortable. A couple of my co-workers did have to go on bed rest and leave early...but i would say this is a good question for the OBGYN. PT is all about using good body mechanics and leverage and avoiding strain on the body while doing movements...your friend should know a great deal about how to avoid stress on her body.

Raul Said:

What hours do physical Therapist Assistants work?

We Answered:

It really depends on your setting. If you work in home health, you'll work during the day. If your work in a hospital, rehab or nursing home setting, you'll also work during the day, but will have to work occasional weekends and holidays. If you work in an outpatient setting, you will probably have to work a couple evenings a week, but usually not later than 8 or 9 pm. Finally, if you work in a school setting, you will follow the school calendar.

Toni Said:

Do physical therapist assistants have flexible schedules so I could work two jobs?

We Answered:

I wish I worked for a hospital that didn't have weekends! I can't think of any hospital that doesn't make PTs work weekends. Therapy is generally LIMITED therapy on weekends, but is still performed...on holidays too!

Yes, your job should be very flexible. You can work daytime at one facility, evenings at an outpatient clinic, weekends at a hospital, etc...just be sure to follow your company's moonlighting policies.

Many PTs and PTAs work at one facility during the week and somewhere else on the weekend, if they aren't already required to work weekends at their own facility.

Can an American Physical Therapist work in Europe?

We Answered:

Yes you can work anywhere in the world with your physical therapy degree, but all you need to do, is to take their licensing test, and to learn the language of that country or area.
