Why do Physical Therapy Assistants Prn get paid more than Physical Therapists?We Answered:
This is incorrect. Someone must have put a couple extra zeros in and skewed the data on the survery. It just impossible to make even as much as a PT- even PRN.Gloria Said:

http://data.bls.gov/oes/search.jsp?data_…

Lonnie Said:
Is there opportunities to work part time as a medical assistant or a physical therapy assistant?We Answered:
Becoming a PTA requires an associate's degree from an accredited college PTA program and most states require passing of state board exams for licensure.It is always possible to do shift work at the hospital, though I must say that your best bet for part-time work (with the highest earning potential) would be to do home health therapy.
I don't know much about the medical assistant pay/hours--sorry!
Doctorgt3 - It is NOT nearly the same level of schooling for PT as for a PTA. PTA's graduate from an asssociate's level program (2 years) then sit for state board exams. PT programs are Master's level (6 years) with many programs moving to Doctorate level (8 years) then the graduate can sit for state board exams.
