More from Ben, your favorite traveling therapist!

One of the biggest complaints I hear from facility staff, no matter where I go, or in what setting, is the politics.  Healthcare facilities are full of gossip, power struggles, scheduling issues and other common workplace fodder.  As a contract physical therapist, I'm there to do the job I went to school for so long to be allowed to do......Physical Therapy!  I'm not a permanent fixture in the facility, therefore, I have no need to get involved in such nonproductive activities. 

I was recently working in a rehab setting with lots of conflicting personalities, office politics, disgruntled employees, and strange patients.  This being a temporary assignment, those things don't bother me, as I am only there TEMPORARILY!  Things that could really bug you as a full time employee are not even minor irritations when you are a traveling therapist.

Happy Traveling!

-Ben
