Can you work wound care and physical therapy in a hospital?


Im going to school for Physical therapy technician/Wound car tech.... would i be able to work as a wound care tech and a physical therapy tech at the same time in a hospital, and possibly get a higher salary or pay?

I use to work at a hospital (UT Medical Center, Knoxville) and there were PT/WCT that took the patient to Whirlpool to change bandages and do wound care etc. I don't know what the pay was like. I hoped this helped. Good luck!
