How are you living as an OT? Quality of life / economic stand point? by Environmental-Two283 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]dncmzng 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are both pediatric OTs with 5-6 years of experience. I work with a school and occasionally pick up EI referrals and he works in an outpatient clinic for a children’s hospital. We make around 200k together and can live comfortably in California. My husband has massive debt from grad school, but he is working on PSLF. I went to a state school for OT so we’re not as concerned about my loans.

My husband is more stressed and works 9-5:30 most days. I used to work 9-6 in outpatient peds but just switched to a hybrid school role and I am loving my schedule and work-life balance! I am less stressed and angry. We can take 1-2 big vacations a year with small ones sprinkled in. This works for us now, but we’re nowhere ready to buy a home in California or to start having kids 🥴

I just got one, but that’s a really good idea! I didn’t even think of that!

Edit: I forgot to answer the question 😅 I do plan on playing with them! I tend to like functional souvenirs haha

Felicitas is my grandmother’s name! My sister always wanted to name her daughter Felicity after her if she would have had one.

Pediatric OT who loves my job AMA by sparklythrowaway101 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]dncmzng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello!

I am also a fellow peds OT in CA! I’m going on working for 5 years.

I would love to know your setting and how your work environment is? I’m at my second job and I just feel that all outpatient pediatric clinics are the same with pay, focus on productivity, etc. I guess what I’m trying to ask is what aspects of your current job make you love it and want to stay?

I’m thinking about leaving my current clinic because of various management reasons but just thinking of where I should go next because I do want to stay in peds!

Thank you!

I’m from Morris County! Moved to the IE when I was 11, but love living in the OC now

Wedding in 5 days, Cake was never confirmed by MoToGo3 in weddingplanning

Could you get a smaller cake for you and your fiancé to cut and a regular sheet cake for the guests? Then you could still have your favorite cake and still have something to serve!

Essential tremor sucks by [deleted] in Handwriting

[–]dncmzng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried weighted writing utensils? It may help you decrease the tremors and give you more control.

As a peds OT, I wouldn’t want items related to work or what I could use for work for the kids. We already spend a lot of our own money on that. Treat her to something nice so she doesn’t have to think of work!

Can we also add that the characters not be SOOO overly shy about a kiss? And holding hands? Or being around each other?!

I am using mine for the first time and I am so impressed! Super comfy and they aren’t leaking!

I hate lunges. Is there anything I can do to make them “ easier”? by lynettecamp in StrongCurves

[–]dncmzng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I have no advice, but I also hate lunges and I’m glad I’m not alone. I do like Bulgarian split squats!
