So for the PTA program at Rhodes we have to do observation hours at two different Physcical Therapy places. The first one I did was at a nursing home and I did not really like it, I know now that that is not what I really want to do for the rest of my life. When I went through Physical Therapy I went through an outpatient program and I loved being there so I think I would love to work there. I am getting ready to start at the second place to observe and I am kind of excited. This place is another outpatient place. People get prescriptions from their doctors that say where they are going to go and they just take the prescription to the Physical Therapist and that is how they start. No one can just decide one day that they want to go and just walk in and start. When I went in I talked to one of the Physical Therapists and he was excited that I wanted to observe and he was even excited that I am going to Rhodes. Hopefully I can maybe get a job there when I am finished and be a Physical Therapist Assistant there. I am more excited about observing here because there will be more of a variety of people that they work with, not just old people. I am going to start tomorrow! I  am super excited.
