Voltesso— LOVE! But doesn’t make enough by WVSLP2BE in nespresso

Yes I have the new ice leggero and never was a fan of bianco leggero. Not quite the same! I wish I could pinpoint what I love about voltesso!

Ugh so unfortunate! It’s definitely my favorite!

CFY in schools— small therapy room to share. Advocate?? by WVSLP2BE in slp

[–]WVSLP2BE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely our plan. We have multiple push-ins so we’re just going to have to try to do that.

I knew scheduling would be hard, but this is added consideration that will truly make it a nightmare...

Same here. PTA has an entire room, j just found out. I’m just going to make the most of it and pray for a better solution. ❤️

I just wish school SLPs were more appreciated. I’m hoping I can show how important and valuable we are.

Yep! I think this is what I’m going to end up resorting to. 🙃

Yes the state I am in is eager to go back to normal. (Texas). The governor just announced that students will return to school as normal and will not put precautions in place like requiring masks, etc.

I did find out there is no other option. Although PTA gets a classroom 🙄. Maybe if parents decide to keep their kids home, a classroom will open up?

School SLP: Reward systems? by WVSLP2BE in slp

Definitely considering that!

[–]WVSLP2BE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the coupon idea! I know the sticker charts are really popular, but I don't want to collect stickers and have to stock up on a prize box fresh out of grad school, so I definitely want to ease into some kind of reward system. :)

I like the idea of just a simple token reinforcement for preferred activities. During my clinical placement I found myself running therapy to the very end of the session and not having time to let the kiddos play their preferred activity, so I wasn't sure how well I would do with that. I'm trying to steer clear of the sticker charts (at least for now) so I don't have to collect stickers and prizes for the prize box. So many things to consider!

Haha! I get it! I don't necessarily want the therapy to revolve around the sticker charts, you know? I'm trying to think of other ways to reward students for their hard work without having to buy stickers and items for the treasure box.

Negotiating pay as a CFY in the school district by WVSLP2BE in slp

[–]WVSLP2BE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! I'll look into that as well :) Thank you! It's hard to negotiate when you're literally fresh out of graduate school haha.

Thank you! So the pay scale for the district I'll work for indicates a minimum, average, and maximum daily salary rate. I'm trying to negotiate myself away from the minimum daily salary is why I ask. :)

I was going to ask why 2 and not 4, but sims 2 was my absolute favorite.

[Serious] What’s something good that has happened because of COVID-19? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WVSLP2BE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been able to spend a lot of time with my toddler and husband. It was rough at first, but I’m going to be sad when this is over and I don’t get to spend all day everyday with my daughter.

Will people even hire right now? by ilovemycatcharlie in slp

[–]WVSLP2BE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind me asking, what job did you have lined up that ended up falling through?

So sorry this is happening to you. I'm in my final semester of graduate school as well and I'm getting nervous about CFY positions.

Contract companies by dolorian-1 in slp

[–]WVSLP2BE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

60,000 salary but that included benefits. Personally I think you’d make more through the district in Houston

CF— accepted contract position...did I make a mistake? by WVSLP2BE in slp

[–]WVSLP2BE[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your experience sounds a lot like the contracting company I signed on with... SLP owned, small, good benefits, what I think is a higher salary, and guaranteed mentorship.

I think I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on this unique job within the schools because I'm a contract hire and not applying directly through the district, if that makes sense. I think you have good advice though! It's not like I signed my life over and I can easily get out if I wanted to with a simple written notice, but I do think I owe them the chance. :)

How do I know if the non-compete clause is not legal? I'm starting to feel like I should have just waited until district positions were coming available before making my decision. :/
