    Love that you share your experiences this is good to know for a future OT to know and I am literally interested in hand therapy or pediatrics.

    My peds FE traumatized me from working in peds again. But I LOVEDDD working with the kids so much. She placed extremely high expectations on me like creating new treatment ideas with EACH kid EACH day (I was discouraged from using games the clinic already had), documentation at home, & evals expected to be finished the next day. I worked LONG hours and literally had no time to eat and sleep. So I love that you brought up your challenges and the importance of mental health. I guess I can place healthy boundaries when I'm a clinician (not a student LOL)...

    • @deereneee
      @deereneee  2 роки тому +1

      I’m sorry to hear you went through that! But yes, as a clinician you set your boundaries and be firm on them!!

    This is super helpful! I’m in my last clinical round as an OTA student and am looking to work in a special needs school also. I’m currently in a mental health setting and girl! It is so hard to separate emotion from professional. & Yes! To you setting those work boundaries ✨

I sooo appreciate the transparency about your struggles because it helps the rest of us be prepared for the real world.
