OT UPDATES!

Hi friends! It’s been a while, so I thought I’d post a quick update about what I’ve been doing.

May 2016: Graduated with a Masters degree in occupational therapy!

June 2016: Passed the NBCOT and became an OTR/L

September 2016: Accepted a full time position in a SNF

So now I’m working full time like an actual adult, and trying to learn as much as I can to be a better practitioner.

If anyone has questions about what OT is, or wants tips for passing the NBCOT, landing your first job, etc.... Please ask me! I would love to share resources, experiences, and help however I can.

Grad school:

When you are relieved to use cleaning your apartment as a break from studying...

Writing a report, drinking wine & watching Elf... Definitely could be worse.

First competency exam today

Trying to be casual, but definitely so nervous. I know that I know everything, it’s just doing it all correctly and in the right order in front of the faculty (and with a partner who’s a foot and a few inches taller than me... hello transfers). Crossing my fingers it goes smoothly and I can continue on to studying for my other exams.

Finals week semester 2 of OT school. Dying but managing... one week until a break. 💃

Leadership and things

So excited to be the new recruitment chair for SOTA. While it may not have been the top position I was hoping for, I really feel it will be beneficial. Not only will I get to talk to incoming students about my school and OT (which is awesome!!!) but I’ll get to know some faculty and also it will look good to have this position.

Not to mention, this position will help me focus more on research; particularly research on adolescent mental health and transition ages for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Yay for making moves
