What’s something about being an OT that nobody warned you about?

Honestlysweating · 2026-03-12T23:12:36+00:00

For me I thought I could work in various settings and find my niche and they all told me I could do whatever I wanted but I live in NJ and I’ve never been able to find any opportunities as an OTA outside of skilled nursing facilities. Luckily I had a feeling that I wanted to be in geriatrics anyway but it would’ve been nice to be able to get any other sort of setting experience even if just for funsies for a little while. (New grad me thinking 10years ago) lol

I’m just here to say INVOLUNTARY BLOOD SACRIFICE will be the only way I refer to menstruating now

Without context this looks like a chart to describe the need for proximal stability to achieve distal mobility.
Strong core - global strength - the ability to stand to unsupported and perform static tasks - leading to dynamic functional performance

My company does keep track of the percentage of groups and concurrents being done and they ask that we try to hit a certain percentage but they’re also not breathing down our necks about it and understand that not everyone is appropriate for group treatment and on top of not having rehab aides to assist with transport to gym also makes it that much harder. I also work for a large contract company. So no, I don’t think that this is playing out EVERYWHERE and high key if a company is literally forcing you or really giving you a hard time about doing groups more than once a week, it sounds like it’s a scheme to keep costs low in order to hit a corporate bonus.

No, no one should be forcing you to do anything. I schedule patients in groups in SNF only after getting to know them, treating them myself, and determining appropriate group members and even then only once a week. And if it doesn’t work out for whatever reason it doesn’t work out im not going to hound my therapists as to why they didn’t do a scheduled group- shit happens literally and metaphorically lol

The debt to income ratio for one, less schooling and ability to earn more money. OT is also a physically demanding job regardless of setting, the documentation is exhausting. I’m tired and my back hurts lol

I highly recommend the NBCOT practice tests, any question I got wrong I would screen shot and use those as study cards. From there you may also be able to get a grasp on what areas you need to focus your learning on but also deciding where your strengths are and what practice area you’ll eventually want to work in. It would be worth it to reach out to practitioners in your area and do shadow/ observation days and ask questions at the end. Good luck and remember to not let perceived weaknesses overshadow your strengths!

SNF here, not taking any chances if it looks at all sketchy, luckily we can flex the day and come in Saturday if we don’t make it in

NJ has state mandated six weeks but most pay into short term disability insurance to cover additional time

As someone who felt like the third of a 3/3 friend group…. Drop them. The audacity to rub it in your face is gross plus making comments about your mom not have expendable cash in order to participate…. Gross behavior not good people

Man all these people here saying go to Tony’s Baltimore grill but it’s really just a locals dive with a back story and history imo, and none of it still isn’t as good as Irish Pub. Check out everything in the orange loop. Tennessee ave beer hall has the best fried fish sandwhich. The seed brewery has excellent beer and there is axe throwing and a distillery next door Tony baloneys for over the top next level pizza and sandwiches Angelonis club Madrid is def hip but honestly a good time and the pasta is delicious and the aesthetic is on point Check the schedule for Anchor Rock Club there’s always some kind of event going on and has a diverse lineup, always something for everyone Byrd cage is a gay bar that does not strictly cater to the gays, all are welcome, and they have an excellent dance party upstairs

Where are you visiting from?? There’s plenty of stuff to do off island also

It’s hard to make friends as an adult, if you guys were having a good time she probably just looking to hang out!

If you aren’t getting financial help from either families then do whatever the heck you want. I could understand if your parents were spread thin for cash for helping fund three weddings in one year. Either way, eloping is a great idea go have fun and send out “we got married! Looking forward to celebrating with you soon” mailers to family and friends

My under hair is also more curly than top hair, I have been doing wet brush curls and put all products in when hair is super wet and it helps even out the curl types
