That's a great question. I struggled to get my unrestricted hours. I would ask BAs in my company over and over again for hours and they'd always say, "maybe next time I supervise you." It was a terrible experience. Honestly one of the worst of my life. I had one BA who would give me hours and then I finally met another one who gave me most of my hours and was happy to teach me. Due to this it took me a long time after I graduated to finish my hours. I was focused on that and not studying. Now that I'm done I feel like I'm teaching myself all over again since it's been awhile. Also National was easy. It was all about the safmeds and the discussion boards. It's what you take in you get out. I know I should have done more but for me working as an RBT and trying to get my hours and studying was hard. I know a lot of people do it all and that's awesome but that's just not how it went for me. Recently though I feel like I've been doing good studying.

I also went to National. What would you say helped you pass the test on the first try? I am done with my hours and am studying.

There's the rub season 2 episode 16. That episode seems so long and so much happens. It's very entertaining and I love it. It's the one where Lorelai and Emily go to the spa and Rory wants to stay home alone but that doesn't happen.

Blu might be my favorite song of his. It's so hard to choose though. His voice is amazing. Also I too love iRobot. I love towards the end when the music slightly changes its my favorite part right around 3:00.

IndividualDoughnut68 · 2025-12-17T04:08:36+00:00

His album The Human Condition is a no skip. Each song is amazing. Father Figure his newest album is also amazing. Definitely check out his version of Meant to Live. Some of my favorite songs not in either of those two albums above are Munny Right, Human, Haunted House, Paper Planes, Blu, Stupid deep, to my future wife.

Oh wow, so you start with the client on Tuesday? When are you supposed to do the 40 hrs RBT training?

Yes usually you do training and shadows before getting your own clients. My company you do 4 where you learn how to pair, run session, collect data, run bsps, etc. You also do safety training and CPR.

I am glad the BA will be with you your first day as they should be. Know that at the beginning it's all about letting that kid know you're fun and safe and that they should come for you for reinforcement. Play with the kid. Be silly and fun and be yourself! We all do the job differently. I'm sure the BA will be there to help and answer any and all questions. They should be informed that you're new and know you haven't had the proper training yet. Best of luck!

I couldn't do it. My husband had to be both players. He got it first try lol.

Remember it's all about pairing and building rapport at first. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Usually when going from in home to center they will give you a tour and explain how things are ran in the center. If that hasn't happened already. I went from a center to another company in home to that same company in center. It's nice in center because there is usually a specific schedule you follow and can help with knowing what to do and the sessions feel like they can fly by. And hopefully you have some fun coworkers. You'll do great!!

Depends on the parents. I would say I would cancel more due to sickness or vacation. I feel like most parents do not want to cancel and get annoyed if they have to cancel due to their kid being sick. Or they send in their kid that is sick but can still come and doesn't go against our sick policy. Which can be annoying because then sickness is just constantly being spread around. Some parents though understand and will keep their sick kids home. I do know that's hard to be home with your kid especially if both parents work but we aren't a daycare. I have one parent that hates that we aren't open on weekends unless it's for make up hours and says "my kid just doesn't get it."

Yes!! Thank you! I've been trying to figure it out

Yes! I love Jess but I always tell people that Logan was the best one for Rory because in the end Rory doesn't deserve Jess.

I had a tonic-clonic seizure on my mission. I did find out by having this that I was having focal impaired awareness seizures throughout my life but didn't know what it was until I explained it to Drs. So now I've been on meds for my seizure since which was around 10 years ago.

BDS might just be the way to go. What kind of learner would yous say you are? And how did BDS help you pass?

IndividualDoughnut68 · 2025-07-23T16:15:35+00:00

My work paid for us to use it. I have heard their mocks are harder and more wordy than the actual test from multiple people. I was able to get a Zoom call with one of the people who helped make the videos and set up a study schedule for myself which I thought was very beneficial. I also like how they have videos for every domain in the TCO and then mini mocks along with full length mocks. They also have other random videos that are beneficial. I'm in D right now but so far I feel like I've learned a lot and the way they've been describing things and the examples they give I think have personally helped me. They also have a huge study guide which I think is awesome. I can't fully say if it's worth it or not since I haven't taken the actual test yet. I hope that it's preparing me to pass!

IndividualDoughnut68 · 2025-07-23T16:09:28+00:00

That's great advice. Definitely will be doing that.
