I'm currently applying to PT programs and wonder what settings would be beneficial and how many would be recommended? To date I have observation hours in out-patient orthopedics, skilled-nursing, in-patient burn therapy, neurological wellness, and CVICU. Are there other areas of PT that I should try to get into for observation?

You got more than enough! Don't worry about it anymore. 2-3 different settings are usually very good, and you got more than that.

You have a great variety! Observe at more if there's anything specific you're really interested in, since it's always great to have extra experience in the settings you'll one day be in as a student or as a future PT .
