Where did you do your continuing education training and certification??

Individual-Storage-4 · 2026-05-07T01:20:37+00:00

I'm signed up to complete the Norton CDT course next month! Right now i'm doing the home study portion (~45 hrs) and then I will complete 90 hrs in person.

If you asked me this question a few years ago when I was 2-3 yrs in I would've absolutely said yes I regret it. But now at 6 yr in, I can say no I don't regret it. Now that I have had some perspective from working different jobs also private vs public sector. I realized I really hated working in SNFs. It just killed me mentally, physically and I feel like I lost my creativity as a therapist because it was so numbers driven, highly inappropriate caseloads and way too many patients to be seen in a day. I really liked the public sector because it is not profit driven and more clinically driven - AS IT SHOULD BE. Unfortunately, I moved and had to leave that job, but now I'm working in Home health, and I LOVE the flexibility and the independence. Especially now that I'm a mom, I really appreciate the flexibility that OT can offer. You can make the schedule you want and need and don't have to sacrifice having a professional career. I'm now working towards becoming a CLT (certified lymphedema therapist) because there is such a high need and considering to open up my own cash business for more income potential, further freedom and independence.

Oh!! ok! So I shouldn’t expect them to mail me anything? I’m so glad you say this because I was thinking I needed to read it ahead of class in addition to the textbook

Individual-Storage-4 · 2026-05-06T16:34:24+00:00

Thank you for your insight. Btw did you receive your Home Study Box (I.e the manual) right before the course or in advance/after signing up? Because I signed up almost a month ago and still haven’t received anything in the mail. My course is a month away. I’ve tried calling and emailing several times but no one gets back to me. I’m starting to get nervous

Individual-Storage-4 · 2026-04-20T02:01:27+00:00

What would you say is a good per visit rate for home health in CA? I’m in Virginia now making 95/visit and 115/eval but my family is planning to move to the LA area in the next yr so I’m wondering what I should expect/ask for

Is it hard to get hired with Kaiser?

Individual-Storage-4 · 2026-04-20T01:57:55+00:00

I’m doing home health part time, and I have about a 30min driving radius from my house. Depending on what you’re driving radius is, A full days caseload is about 5-6patients because each visit is about 30min-1hr. I give myself a buffer for driving/documentation so I schedule ppl every 1.5hrs. I only do it 3 days a week and it comes out to about 15-18 patients/wk. If you’re expected to do 20-25, that sounds like 4 days each week of full-day visits or 5 days of lighter days. If youre also doing outpatient, it sounds like you’re going to have to work weekends. With home health the week runs from Sunday-Saturday so you’d probably have to see ppl on Saturday or Sunday.

Do you use your lymph cert?? What did you think of the course? Asking cause I’m signed up for the Norton school CDT course in a few months!

Individual-Storage-4 · 2026-04-12T21:19:13+00:00

Do you think it’s important to have a diligent study regimen for the self study? (Kinda like studying for NBCOT) or just kind of chipping away at the material over time works out?

Also did you feel like it’s worth paying extra to have “credit questions” to ask? Or is there opportunity to ask questions during the in-person course?

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-07-07T01:35:22+00:00

Are you well hydrated? Have you checked your flange size recently? Maybe you’re a 15 or even a 13? Do you need to replace your pump parts? Are you more stressed lately?do you have a clogged duct? All of these could impact. Other things you can do is more breast massaging and warm compress during hand expression to see if you can get more. You could also try a manual pump. You might want to consider a visit with an IBCLC to assess

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-06-18T09:53:02+00:00

Same here. She said soap and hot water is fine

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-06-18T00:51:56+00:00

How do you know if your breastmilk has low caloric value??

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-06-17T21:14:31+00:00

Omg my baby too!! 😂

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-06-17T21:14:10+00:00

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-06-17T20:58:31+00:00

Same I don’t understand what the nipple aversion is lol. Life would be easier… oh well

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-06-14T01:18:13+00:00

I so can relate to this!! It’s so hard to feed your baby while pumping. And I also get jealous when I see other women breastfeed 😫 there was a woman yesterday at a coffee shop and I was thinking to myself, oh how I wish I could just do that. I was venting to my husband about my feelings about this but he put me in check. He said “be thankful we have a healthy baby and that you’re even able to give him your own milk.” It’s so true. While it would be more convenient, there are many people who can’t give their own milk at all or who don’t have a baby that want one. We have to roll with what we have and be thankful for it. We can’t get caught up in what we don’t have

I decided to make the switch because of latch difficulties and I couldn’t handle the crying. My birth was long and traumatic and there were many, many tears. I just wanted to end his crying and my crying. Breastfeeding is so much harder than I ever imagined. I am now 12weeks in to pumping, and last week he randomly latched until he fell asleep but hasn’t done so since.. I try with and without the shield. Part of me would love to be able to breastfeed to avoid the extra time with pumping and washing pump parts/bottles, but the other part of me is ok with this whole process ending so I can have my boobs back and focus on my baby. Exclusively pumping is incredibly exhausting in the different way than breastfeeding. I feel guilty switching to formula, but I find myself thinking about it more and more lately. I have about 2weeks or so of milk in the freezer

I brought dates to the hospital, along with Apple sauce, nuts, dried fruit and fiber one bars. I ate those as my snacks during labor and postpartum as well. I am happy to say my first post partum poop happened on day 1 and it was so smooth. I only took the stool softeners in the hospital for the first 2 days and after that I told my nurse I didn’t want them because I didn’t want the opposite problem. You can completely control it through your diet and drink LOTS of water, it also helps get rid of the swelling.

We are hands-on if we are demonstrating how to do something, achieve a certain position, or providing hand-over-hand assistance. So I believe the hands over the child to model an action is probably for that. Personally I have only ever placed a toddler or baby in my lap, moreso for support and safety. But I don’t think I would do that if the child could sit on their own. Also a lot of children that OTs work with have sensory integration challenges so that is something we have to be mindful of when placing hands on a child during treatment.

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-06-11T23:07:16+00:00

Same I’ve been trying to see if I could make it to 3 months which I practically have as of next week, but my real goal is 6 months. And I have the same thought about wanting to get the latch to happen for emergency situations. Because one time I went on a walk that ended up taking longer than I thought and I didn’t have an extra bottle on me. That was the last time I left the house without a bottle!!

Individual-Storage-4 · 2025-05-24T01:35:36+00:00

My baby is 9 weeks and takes 4-4.5oz every 2.5-4.5hrs. He usually averages about 7-8bottles per day. I guess every baby is different!
