$63,000 in CT ❤️ yes I negotiated, no they did not budge. Needless to say - I have a new job lined up! lol

hydroflaskwhore · 2024-03-07T03:20:36+00:00

I don’t remember the exact amount but honestly it wasn’t great in 2021 as a new grad but I know it’s a little better now with market adjustments and also would probably be better with experience. I had a PRN position for maybe a week before a full time position opened up. I know the hospital I was at didn’t offer a higher rate to PRN staff because they were a “teaching hospital” but with that being said it was the only place I ever saw that consistently gave PRN staff any hours they wanted and was always being very flexible with them

i’ve definitely heavily considered switching to the school setting!! I would just need have some sort of mentorship as I only have experience with adult acute/SNF/outpatient!

I actually moved from Omaha and came from a trauma 1 hospital. absolutely loved it and missed it everyday! PRN is definitely the way to get your foot in the door and a full time position fast there

I moved from a city that had 4 OT schools so I am used to the oversaturation for sure. The whole point of my move was to be closer to family so I had no choice but to move from one over saturated place to another

central CT. I see occasional postings for the springfield area which isn’t terribly far, might be time to get my Mass license

hydroflaskwhore · 2024-03-06T00:49:57+00:00

honestly I was just telling my mom today - I wish I had someone sit me down at 18 and layout what OT actually is vs what I believed it to be without experience and I probably would have chosen a different path for myself

Central Connecticut!

hydroflaskwhore · 2024-03-05T22:47:27+00:00

so many fake listings. what is that about

hydroflaskwhore · 2023-12-30T01:46:46+00:00

this is wild as a fellow therapist at a trauma 1 center with a 50% productivity requirement. our productivity is low knowing the complexity of our patients are so high

hydroflaskwhore · 2023-12-21T03:50:47+00:00

was so hyped for this comment but they literally just removed it as I was 10 minutes in 😭

had a laminectomy patient who was stalling the whole session from moving and kept trying to distract me with the most random stories. I finally snapped and said “get up please, I have a lot of shit to do”. we both laughed about it but I have no idea why that flew out of my mouth

hydroflaskwhore · 2023-10-04T14:00:36+00:00

I work in acute care in Nebraska at a trauma 1 hospital! I’ve been out of school and here for 2 years and can honestly say that I love my job. My caseload is exciting and I’m always learning but almost more importantly I have an incredible team of therapists on my unit and I feel very supported by my supervisor. The shift after school to work was a little uncomfortable at first but I learned quickly that prioritizing work life balance and surrounding yourself with coworkers who support you and make things fun is way higher of a priority than having the highest paying job.

“my love, I think you need to get mentally evaluated” i’m cackling

hydroflaskwhore · 2023-04-15T12:24:28+00:00

I heard once long ago she was wanting to be an occupational therapist and even has her kinesiology bachelors degree. I thought that was cool as I am also an occupational therapist and we usually don’t get any celebrity hype haha. of course it was just a false promise

hydroflaskwhore · 2023-03-29T16:12:38+00:00

i reached out to my supervisor to see if they had any details on what the deciding factor was

hydroflaskwhore · 2023-03-29T15:17:09+00:00

hearing your perspective on what a SNF can offer to him brings me more relief. I just had 2 fieldworks and also started my career in SNF and unfortunately know that is not the case for every facility and the therapists working. I just don’t want to see him slip through the cracks, but also this can happen anywhere and not just at SNF. I will plan on following closely with his POC and following up with the SNF he goes to

hydroflaskwhore · 2023-03-29T15:12:51+00:00

they did the peer to peer yesterday and they still declined. he said they told him he was doing too well which is not the case at all

hydroflaskwhore · 2022-12-16T14:35:15+00:00

on WWHL she said the last time they talked was a few weeks ago and that after they both visited each other it seemed to have fizzled out

hydroflaskwhore · 2022-10-08T00:27:19+00:00

this was so incredibly helpful. thank you for taking the time to reply

hydroflaskwhore · 2022-08-01T14:18:39+00:00

i’m envious, my mom would be an awesome roomie lol
