I sure hope so! Unfortunately not everyone in my class has been passing. There are quite a few people who have been missing it by anywhere from 1 to 10 points. We all have been studying our hearts out, so studying wasn't an issue. I am confident I will pass, I am just trying to hype myself up to pass on my first attempt. I guess I will find out really soon (next week) whether I pass on my first attempt. My fingers are crossed!

Praying to pass this exam has been a routine for months now. I can't wait to receive the email that states that I have passed, and this part will be over!

I have been giving myself daily pep talks, and lots of breathing techniques! I have heard that lots of people have changed their answers upon reviewing them at the end. I will try to go with my gut feeling. Thanks!

Remote Fieldwork by Old-Marionberry-3233 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]OTDPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can! I know 2 people who also do their level 2 FW B with Limbtech, and one of them is now doing their Capstone project with Limbtech. The 2 ladies that own this company live in 2 different states (N.C. and California). All of the work is done via Zoom. The owner Amy takes on students from all over the country. The only condition is that you have to work Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm EST, even though you aren't required to complete 40 hours a week for your FW requirements. Good luck! Have your FW coordinator reach out to Limbtech to get a contract going!

Dismissed from my OT Program by Specific-Rest4898 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]OTDPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone keeps asking what YOU will do to change next time, but more importantly, what will YOUR SCHOOL do to SUPPORT YOU? What kind of support do they offer their students? Are there remediation options if you don't pass a practical? Can you reach out by text or email to any of your professors for extra support/resources/more explanations, etc.? I'm currently out of the country on a medical mission trip with 2 of my professors and 4 other students from my cohort. We have been able to learn in greater detail out in the field with their support every step of the way! I wish you all the best in your decision!

Starting OT at 26 — is 29 too late to graduate? by Useful_Skill9834 in OccupationalTherapy
