Emotional attachment is very hard for me, I would be a total reck so this wouldn’t work for me, but I love kids so much, listening to everything you said it’s more pro’s than cons
Girl do you realize how absolutely Gorgeous you are??!! Your Skin is Perfection and your 👀 are Mesmerizing!!! Your Lips and Smile just Light up your Whole Face!! I’m serious Girl, You are Absolutely Undeniably Stunning!!! 😉💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I feel so much better knowing that the reason I probably dread going to work everyday is more because of the place/company I go to rather than the actual work. I love getting to know these little people and getting to help them grow, but what gets to me is the time constraints, having to figure out how to word documentation, and trying to keep up the energy for the whole day. Maybe I'm more cut out for part-time peds or just need to get away from my current company; the DOR is a toxic PT
I have an Exercise Science Degree and was just accepted into an OTA program. Long term goal is OT. I would love to hear your perspective of transitioning from OTA to OT 😊
@@alyssapacurar9762 Not really. from what I’ve seen in doing my research some science based majors would help to cover some prerequisites. But for the most part, if you have a great GPA and are accepted, some programs will allow you to take those prerequisites before your core OT classes ☺️
@@its-dynaisha Great question! I never went to OTA school, but I’ve worked with some great COTAs. I’ll make a video on the key differences and similarities! Thanks for the idea!
I've been a COTA for 10+ years working in acute rehab & I'm just starting my 2nd level II for OT school! While I was working as a COTA, I really wanted more autonomy over the patients I was seeing, & I felt I needed more job security, so that was the catalyst for me to transition over. This is not to say that COTAs are being phased out, but there are definitely many more jobs + settings available to an OTR vs COTA. I think OT school was a lot easier for me than a lot of my classmates due to my experience, but I really learned SO much more, which was awesome. My goal is to shift over to peds now (I'm a mom of 2 littles, so flexibility is huge!). The debt I've accrued to this point...sucks, but at this time, I have no regrets. I was able to go to a school that has a weekend program, so it made working full time while going to school somewhat doable - I went PRN during my last semester so I could focus on my capstone, but I somehow was able to work while in school! If you have any specific questions, please let me know!
I am a student interested in this field and I had a question, what's the average you make, because accordingly in NYC where I live they make about $118,478 and $140,916.
I made it into the occupational therapy program of my dreams I start next week❤
Congratulations :)

Same
question! does it matter what your major is in order to be accepted into an OT program?
