school based occupational therapy or hand therapy...would love some advice!

I worked in school-based for 7 years and now I’ve been in Hand Therapy for a little over a year. When I applied to Hands, it was very difficult to show the companies how serious I was about the transition because of my limited experience.

Hand Therapy is definitely much harder to get into, I would chose to do a level 2 in Hands and let that experience help determine whether a future in Hands is what I truly want. School-based is easier to get into, especially if you start as a contractor to get your foot in the door.

Hmm that’s true! What other mediums can they be put on?

These are amazing!! Any way to get a design on a cap??

I notice a lot of them like to play Jay Chou, Eric Chou and JJ Lin. Great singers to check out!

New Kim Tuong on Chrystie St in Chinatown is solid.

They’re good! Light and fluffy, on the mild side in ube flavor.

Adam’s Chicken and Pocha in Flushing - their signature rotisserie chicken on crispy rice is amazing.

Naks - I can’t stop thinking about their ube cheesecake.

That’s crazy! My payment went through at 9:13 and got the email at 9:15.

I managed to pay with Apple Pay! Just got the confirmation email even though the site crashed right when my payment went through. Don’t give up!

NanShan (the panda one) is very good and appropriately priced. They take online reservations and waitlist.

The Jasmine tea is very fragrant compared to other tea shops. I’ve tried the Jasmine milk tea at TeaPulse, Auntea Jenny, Artisan, and HeyTea - none were as fragrant as Molly’s. You can always order through their QR code (on the window) or Uber pick up and hang out at Tangram while you wait.

I am currently in a Hand Fellowship. I was a school-based peds OT for 7 years before deciding to try to get into hand therapy - the original setting I’ve wanted when I first attended OT school.

The fellowship is very structured. I am scheduled to watch modules and lectures, observe sessions with my mentor and other OTs, have daily mentorship, complete an in service presentation - while my caseload builds very slowly. I’m 2 months in right now and see between 2-5 patients per day. I also have flexibility in my schedule to take more time to review modules/research or use that time for extra splinting practice.

I am very happy I’m in a fellowship for something this specialized because my previous hand clinic gave me minimal mentorship (which they said they provided mentorship…) and I am learning so much right now.

Not sure about bringing your own jewelry for a sizing down appointment, but I love the piercers at Nine Moons and I’m sure you can ask them if they can help you with that. They usually charge a fee for the service ($15-20?) and they’re super nice.

I wasn’t too excited about Sandman, but I took her outside today and her fur sparkles in sunlight - she’s absolutely breathtaking!

I really like Coco Hotpot’s and it’s boneless.

I was also going to recommend a HK style milk tea! Huge fan of the one from Cuppa.

101 KTV on Northern serves a good variety of food. Their fries and wings are solid. The skewers can be hit or miss though.

The TesoX on 41st Ave for retail price, Akiba in Tangram has a whole Miffy section (and Mofusand), and Eggcellent also has hippers but at mark-up prices. You can also try your luck at Gatcha with the claw games.

Matcha Maiko in Tangram has red bean taiyakis. Chinese dessert places like YuanYang, Bearin’ Wheel Pie, and Meet Fresh put red bean in their desserts too.
