PTA Elevation

Today Briana sits down with Erica Romberger, who recently passed her exam in April 2023. Erica is a new mom, and 2020 grad, and she hopes her story will help motivate and inspire others! Here's a little about Erica: "Hey y’all! I’m finally Erica Romberger, PTA all thanks to Bri and her awesome program she has built! I started my PTA journey with Bri in July of 2019. I had graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with my Bachelors in Kinesiology; after multiple applications to DPT programs denied, I came across a PTA program literally 10 minutes from my house! Central Penn college truly changed my life. Allowing me to still work towards my goal of helping patients. School was rough, I’m not going to lie but I finished even with us being shut out of a classroom due to COVID. Having neurology online was brutallllll and I mean it; I had a melt down everyday it felt like. Fast forward, we were allowed to get into the clinics for clinical and I felt revived! My dream of being a PTA was still within reach! Going into my boards the first time, I’ll be honest, I barely studied… I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! I was too cocky and just wanted to have a life since I had graduated and it was not the good choice. Second time, I changed my approach but didn’t truly know how to properly retain the information without the hands on part and having someone to go through things with. Again, another fail sadly… I was defeated so I took a break, got a full time job started a 401k and just took a mental break. I ran into my one professor at a grocery store and she recommended I reach out to Briana for her program if I truly wanted to do it a third try. So I got in touch and BOOM! Bri got me back into it with a proper study plan, proper techniques and thennnnnn I got pregnant. Being pregnant and trying to study; do not recommend LOL! Pregnancy brain is so real. So I still tried anyways and then I realized I had to go before the board to present a study plan so I didn’t get approved for a third attempt but I didn’t stop. I kept pushing. I had my son Nov 2nd enjoyed my maternity leave and at the end of my leave, I went before the board (extremely stressful) and presented my study plan. They approved me!! Third attempt was now within my reach and in my control of passing. I was nervous, anxious, stressed, overwhelmed with being a new mother and just wanting it sooooo bad! Bri, is a miracle worker yall. In touch with me constantly reassuring me, pushing me to do this for myself and my son and here I am! THAT GREEN CIRCLE, PASSED!! Being a mother is HARD and being a mother in school is even HARDER! If I learned anything, DO NOT GIVE UP! Y’all it is soooo worth it! You are worth it, you can do it and you will! Bri also helped me get into that mindset. My son will know one day how much I love him, but also how hard I pushed myself to make him proud of what I do. I am extremely thankful for this program and I cannot wait to start my career in the healthcare industry! All my mamas out there who think they can’t, YOU CAN! If not for you, then just look at that little one looking up at you and do it for them! You got this, seriously!"
