SLPs: Is the actual job of being a speech-language pathologist less stressful than graduate school is?

{I'm in grad school for SLP now} Tell me if it is less stressful and less time consuming. (There are weeks when I see employs 8 to midnight, yet) and also tell what kind of SLP and you are full or part time. Thanks. If you are under stress at work must be thankful that you are not Jack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSFr01uAPtg Merry Christmas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N388JwxaoFI It depends. In the medical environment, it can be high stress, if you have connected many doctors orders for evaluations with an already heavy workload. The attempt to write the eval, require nutrition therapy and orders to the kitchen, talk to families attending meetings, forcing established treatment for patients and do all your documents - poof - there may be a crazy day. You must remember not to allow hospitals and nursing homes from the documentation to be carried out from work so you can not go home. (Patient privacy laws). I flourished, because no day goes by without that I do not learn something, and every day was different, most clinical treatments of individual character - not many, if any, groups. I loved the constant interaction with other suppliers healhcare. Working in education is generally much less stressful, even if the cases are pretty large and you have group therapy. The good news is that the documentation to do at home, the only meetings for action, and some others are doing evaluations. The downside? I was bored silly .
