The amount of schooling, studying and straight up free work we put into clinicals, I don’t want to hear shit about not being a real doctor. I’m getting a doctorate degree and will introduce myself accordingly. I’ll be Dr. Freitag, your PT. Which part is hard to understand?

Sometimes I think I’m being an annoying student, but then I remember that we’re allowed to stick up for ourselves even to the instructors that hold their positions of power over our heads.

I can’t imagine being a CI and deciding it’s my job to have a student work full time hours, go home with work every night, and spend hours of their weekend on clinic material. I can’t imagine wanting a student to think about work every day and expecting them to be devoted to it.

The biggest thing my clinical is teaching me right now is what kind of CI I wouldn’t want to be and how to cope while my well-being deteriorates. I never thought a clinical experience would wear me down this much.

BREAKING: North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has signed into law legislation that allows student groups at colleges, universities, and high schools to discriminate against LGBTQ students.

Treating toddlers is my absolute least favorite age (aside from my fav guy). They don’t listen, most don’t speak, no attention span, throw tantrums, and only do things when they want. It is the most frustrating population I’ve ever treated and I leave wanting to quit every time.

Toddler countdown to graduation: 14 😩

It’s official! Dr. Nicole Freitag, PT, DPT 👩🏻‍🎓

Only week 1 of studying for the NPTE and I am OVERWHELMED. Musculoskeletal is not my thing 😩

Afternoon naps can recharge a weary body; now research has found they also may boost cognitive function: bit.ly/3uLRTcQ #HarvardHealth

Multi-booking is not evidence-based care. Multi-booking is not best practice. Multi-booking hurts the patients & the clinicians. It doesn’t belong in #OncoPT or any other PT for that matter.

NPTE tomorrow

I can’t believe it 😭😌
