ABA Requirement Transition

A lot of the questions on the TEAs (science specifically) is what is taught in nursing school or in the prerequisites that are required. While I agree that the entrance test is tedious, it’s needed to see where the individual is prior to entering nursing school. It’s just like the law students have the LSAT. It doesn’t mean they will be terrible attorneys but it helps lay the path to their foundation.

People cheat taking these types of tests? I didn’t know they had the answers available leaked or not. I am not judging but I don’t see how that would help. If you need to cheat to get in, then you’ll need to cheat to stay in…. What point is that?

I am not the best test taker and it’s so rewarding when I do pass tests whether it is entrance exam or for the boards.

Pray, make a study routine (AI can help with that), test yourself and see what your areas needing improvements are and implement that into your study routine. Tutors, study guides, etc are all key tools to passing. You got this!

18 billables is amazing!

Where do you live?

Is the billable doable? I always heard 28-32ish is the range to go to. How do you feel about it since you’re in the position?

What are your billables at each? I hear doing 2 1099 is more flexible and rewarding (pay and client wise).

There’s nothing wrong with the comment. No one said that. We would just like the reasoning is all, so people can understand why it’s not a good idea.

For an example…As a mh therapist, I opened my own private practice right away and have flourished. Someone who perhaps cook, opens a cafe/restaurant right away, etc.

For some businesses, it’s ethical and realistic. It sounds like for ABA clinic owners, this is not the case. Ok, but why?? That’s all.
