    You should be fine. You wouldn't need any addidtional schooling to become an aide, and although some schools have physical therapy aide training programs, its not really needed. Best advice would be to go to different physical therapy clinics, ask to speak to the manager and inquire if they have openings while handing them your resume. I did this and I was offered a position at a physical therapy clinic a few years ago. Just make sure you look presentable and tell hem that you're interested in a career in physical therapy if thats what your long term goal is. Best of luck to you :)

    once you are going to college for Nursing then possibly a Nurse's aide may be greater constructive than a PT or OT Aide. which isn't definitely ridiculous, even with the undeniable fact that. Whichever aide place you bypass with you would be getting that affected person care journey (assuming you're finding for positions interior a wellness facility putting). i'm a actual medical care aide, yet i'm not too beneficial what an OT aide does. probably some thing comparable. the two way, neither considered one of them resemble nursing. i will assure you of that. So whichever you pick, OT aide vs. PT aide, neither would be efficient or constructive over the different. i think of each will provide you journey with affected person care, speaking with sufferers as nicely as different wellness-care specialists.
