Be prepared.
Physical Therapist Assistant:
This is a rewarding profession, however it requires a great deal of patience. You listen to people complain about their pain all day long, and you are expected to fix their pain. It is rewarding when you do, but frustrating when you don't.

Stress Level.
Physical Therapist Assistant:
Pros: Rehabilitate people to their prior level of function.
Cons: Stressful to meet the needs of patients and document and billing while treating the patient. No time for any extra personal needs such as filling out requests for time off. No HR personnel on sight, all communication is through email, so impersonal.

To "Love " being a Physical Therapist Assistant because it's show that you care and you will do the work professionally, and to always have an open ear to hear and eyes to see at all time for the need of the patient you care for.

To Balance My Personal And Work Life Better.

Have fun, surround yourself with as many different therapist as possible. Work in varied settings: out pt rehab, acute care, in pt rehab. If you start out in home health or a small one therapist clinic you will limit your peer support and learning.
