What exactly is workers compensation?We Answered:
Workers comp pays medical bills and lost wages. You have to work if your doctor says you are able to work. You can't just stay home and take an extended vacation.Sally Said:
Switching jobs while on workers comp?We Answered:
You can take a new job if you where offered one. You will be covered by your old work comp carrier until you are released back to full duty and released from care from your doctor.Now here is the "But" part. If your new job pays you more money and your doctor places you off work you will only get paid for what you earned from your previous job. For example, if your TTD rate was $400 from your old job and your new job pays double than your only going to get $400 a week for the check. The new company wouldn't care if your placed off work because it doesn't count against them.
Happy Healing

what can i do to become a physical therapist?We Answered:
There are no trade schools for PT (unless you want to be a tech...but tech's don't technically need a certificate anyway and the pay is quite low). PT is a 6-7 year degree resulting in a doctorate (although a few master's degree programs still exist). Median salary is about $72,000 a year, but it can vary anywhere from $50,000 to $125,00+ if you are a successful practice owner or are in management. Benefits are pretty typical...especially if you work for a hospital based facility: healthcare, 401K, PTO, etc.You'll need to first go to school to earn a BS/BA in a field of your choice, however, you'll also have to complete the prerequisites for the graduate level program...this typically involves a lot of bio, chem, physics, psych and math, therefore, most people choose a major related to this. Entrance into the graduate level program is highly competitive and to be a strong applicant, a GPA of 3.5 is a good goal.
Don't worry about your prior class...if you dropped it, fine...if you failed, that might be another story.
The other option is to become a PTA (physical therapist assistant) instead. The earning potential here is less...it's rare to make more than $50,000 but its only a two year degree. Programs like this are usually housed at community colleges.
I'd recommend going to the APTA website at www.apta.org where they have a lot of useful info for potential students. This also includes which schools have programs.
