Hi all - I am struggling, I am a new grad in an acute care setting right now for my first job. I applied to all different settings because I truly enjoyed all my clinicals for different reasons and was up for anything, so when I got offered this job, only having acute rehab experience I figured I could handle it no problem, but I feel like a fish out of water. I'm a new grad, in a new setting, in a new hospital system and I just feel like I'm behind the curve, there's so many logistical things I need to learn (where the supply rooms are on each floor, required things to document in EMR, etc.) that it's causing more anxiety on top of not feeling super confident in my interventions and I just feel clumsy/clunky going through evals. I know a lot of it is probably in my head, but I just so desperately want to come off as confident, calm, and collected that when I'm struggling with fitting the recliner in the room or bed adjustments I just feel so embarrassed internally.

My rehab clinical I was pushed so much to document in session, and that would help with remembering essentials for evals, and this location is the total opposite, some patient rooms don't even have monitors in them, and nurses wheel them in. And I'm also just not used to a 15-20 minute treatments, and I just don't feel like I'm doing enough for the patient if we get up a and get to the chair, Idk if that's just because I am used to my 90 minute rehab appointments or what.

Any advice of things you wish you knew, or good resources for new grads in acute care, I would be open to any thing. I want to be able to stick this out, and enjoy my M-F because deep down I do feel like I'm capable, but right now I have a lot of imposter syndrome and don't feel like I know anything, and I'm wondering how i even passed boards to be here. I’m having stress dreams thinking about pass sessions and I think it’s just making me so much more exhausted overall.

I'm a new grad PT and I'm relocating to Cleveland. Home health isn't my first choice, but I'm keeping my options open. I see that Cleveland Clinic, UH, etc. have home health options, I hadn't realized some hospital systems provided this? I guess I assumed most HH were through other agencies. My gut reaction is to say it's probably not worth it, pay seems to be less, but maybe health insurance/benefits are better? Does anyone have any input on this?

I am relocating to Cleveland in June and I am looking for a new yoga (or pilates, or other class type) studio. Right now I feel really spoiled, my current yoga studio unlimited membership is a student rate of $70, normal $120, and the studio offers Vinyasa Power flows, hot yoga, hot flow+weights, power sculpt, barre, Yin Restore, and a couple other classes. With classes being offered as early as 5:30 AM and as late as 7:30 PM. I love the variety of classes I can take right now, the ability to slow down to focus on my mobility, balance, and practice or the chance to challenge myself with more cardio and weights.

Is there any type of studio in Cleveland that has it all, like what I currently have? I haven't found any while I've been looking, but curious if maybe I just missed one.

Also, thinking about doing Class Pass in case there isn't a studio that has it all, and just to try out a few studios, but I've never done classpass so if anyne has any recommnedations or pros/cons on class pass in Cle I would appreciate that as well.

I will probably end up getting a Y membership if my apt doesn't have a gym, and I know they often have yoga classes, or mat pilates, but I really do just love the local studio and the community that comes with it and would ideally do a studio as well.

I have been on Zepbound for 41 weeks, down 25 lbs, SW 220,I have been on 12.5 Mg for the last 12 weeks (issues with insurance, yada yada), and I am finally getting 15 Mg this week, but I go back and forth with the slow weightloss, especially when it seems everyone else loses much faster. My endo's best guess is I just need the highest dose. Previously have been on Wegovy at highest dose and lost faster until it plateaued and I got off because side effects were so also. I have a lot less side effects on Zepbound which is a plus.
