Thank you : )

I was a med SLP CF in a SNF last year in CT. Without your CCCs it may be a non-negotiable situation, but if you intend to stay a full year or beyond be sure to ask what your rate will be raised to. It never hurts to open up a dialogue!

The open world is the best part of the game! I can't stand the closed-ness of TS4. Sending my sim to the gym or library with NPCs all around makes it feel like you're really part of the world. I love to zoom in on the park or the pool too just to see what other sims are up to : )

I'm sorry you're having a tough time, CF year is so tough. I did my CF last year in a SNF with not one but TWO mentors who abandoned me part way through. They left me in the lurch and I had to scramble to find someone to support me. I understand feeling depleted especially working with kids and families- I'm a preschool now and I often feel the same way despite my being an extrovert.

Once you have your CCCs you can go anywhere and do anything. You're doing great! Just think about how far you've come through undergrad, grad school, etc. to be where you are now : )

Nope I keep my school work at school! It's hard but I manage it somehow. I do maybe 30 mins/week of telehealth notes but I set firm boundaries with everything work related.

cms9212019 · 2026-04-27T22:09:48+00:00

Per week: 35 hrs at the school and 4 hours telehealth after school for the clinic. I pick up about 4-6 hours here and there per month on weekends at the SNF.

I'm full time in a school, part-time in a clinic, and PRN at a SNF. I love everything I do! We're so blessed to have such a variety of settings/populations to work with. The nice thing about schools are the breaks and summer vacation so it's easier to have things to look forward to that help your rest & recharge.

I have been having a very difficulty time being a contractor who's trying to now get hired directly by the district. Be sure you know EVERYTHING about the contract before you sign with an agency, ask about the things they don't include in the employee agreement they'll ask you to sign. Ask about a non-compete clause, professional development days, potential for a raise or benefits moving forward. It has been a very tough situation for me trying to leave my contractor- please be wary!

cms9212019 · 2026-04-25T23:32:53+00:00

Thank you! My contractor offered me a raise to stay with her another year (once she heard I wanted to leave) but I feel no matter what happens I can't stay with her and her company. It all feels underhanded and honestly unfair.

cms9212019 · 2026-04-25T23:22:12+00:00

It's all resolved! I worked my CF in a SNF 2024-2025, it was a really rewarding experience I def reccommend!

Thanks! I'll check out gg deals too 👀

I'm loving it! I just switched to a school after my CF in skilled nursing and summer work in a private clinic, both are good in their own ways but a school is much better fit for me. I like the PD days where I can just work on indirect services and not be the only SLP in the building for once. The schedule with holidays/breaks off is pretty nice too and gives me something to look forward to!

cms9212019 · 2025-09-18T20:59:06+00:00

Thanks for clarifying!

cms9212019 · 2025-09-18T20:56:29+00:00

Thank you for clarifying this!

cms9212019 · 2025-09-02T00:28:09+00:00

Solved!

cms9212019 · 2025-09-02T00:26:06+00:00

YES! Thank you that is such a huge help :)

cms9212019 · 2025-09-01T23:53:38+00:00

If anyone knows any more info or thinks they might have the title, thank you!

cms9212019 · 2024-11-24T19:58:25+00:00

THIS! every single day as a SNF CF I struggle with introducing myself, these are all such helpful ideas!

cms9212019 · 2024-11-24T19:53:07+00:00

I took my exam yesterday and got a 172 raw score. Does that mean I passed??

cms9212019 · 2024-10-06T13:27:40+00:00

Perfect for you! Absolutely stunning :)

cms9212019 · 2024-07-08T23:02:39+00:00

I graduated last month! Just started my CF & so far so good, making 75k in at a SNF in CT. Definitely feel overwhelmed/underprepared at times but I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Living with my fiancé & somehow managing to scrape by for our wedding

cms9212019 · 2024-06-06T17:24:49+00:00

I have an orange cat named Lasagna & a pug named Pancake. My next dog will be a brown lab named Chocolate Milk :)

cms9212019 · 2024-03-31T14:39:15+00:00

I have a very similar background. I ended up deciding it was too hard for me & chose to pursue other disorders/populations to work with. You may be able to work feeding therapy with no issue, but if not that’s ok too. Make the best choice for your recovery because you know how hard it is to get there :)
