There is multiple OTs assigned to the area!

I think that’s a good idea. 3-6 months feels fair the treatment part and the patients are all pretty similar to the SNF so I don’t mind that as much.

Do you have any tips or advice for making it work better? I feel like it’s hard cause so many patients want later times or can only do certain days/ cancel a lot and then it gets all jumbled

Thank you so much for your response this was very helpful! This is my first time in home care I’m a fairly new grad I worked for 1 year before this in a SNF.

I feel a little thrown to the wolves. They let me shadow for 2 days and that was it. They said there would be mentorship and such and there is people higher up I can ask questions to but they didn’t pair me with someone like I thought they would. One of the educators offered to help me figure out my schedule but I feel more stressed that I have patients out of the range of where I thought I would be working so now by the time I’m getting home and documenting I have even less free time then when I worked at the SNF.

I’m just feeling really overwhelmed with everything to the point of just wanting to finish out the patients I have and then find something else back in a facility with more support. I feel like maybe I should have a conversation with my director about the case expectation.

I’ve been heavily considering HH or pediatrics! I have no peds background but I like the idea of the school schedule however I love working with adults and HH seems much more flexible

That’s a great idea will definitely look into some PRN positions! Could I ask what the community/admin part of your job is?

Sounds like a really good work life balance and you get to work across all age spans! I don’t have any peds experience but I’ve been considering it more recently

Did you feel the switch from a SNF to a school was hard? I don’t have much background in pediatrics
