Acute Care PT of 1.5 years. Came in right at the start of the alpha COVID wave and worked through Omicron and Delta.
Throughout the pandemic, the nursing and respiratory departments have seen massive raises and retention / loyalty bonuses handed out.
In the meantime, I’ve only gotten a 60 cent raise. PT/SLP/OT have been excluded from any form of loyalty raises or bonuses.
RN’s now make more than I do. Burnout is an understatement, but now I feel like we get slapped in the face on top of it.
To add insult to injury, the case managers are b!tching at us for dialysis patients being constantly re-admitted / being stuck in the hospital for prolonged periods because no local SNF will take them. Kinda hard to work with them if they’re gone half the day and then they refuse PT when the come back to the floor from dialysis.
Any other acute care PT’s feeling unappreciated in general? I hate to say it, but I resent going down this path more and more each day.
