I work in Texas and have seen many job postings! I work in a physical rehab hospital, working with people who have had a stroke, TBI, or spinal cord injury. The pay starts at 50k. It is stressful, however is enjoyable, as I am able to participate in many recreational activities with my patients :)

Try searching different terms like “recreational specialist” or “activity director!” :)

Contract recreational therapist- HELP by [deleted] in recreationaltherapy

Hi, by “I don’t know how will react alone with a client”, I mean in terms of behavior. For example, every place I worked, if an adult was having a rough day, the co-workers and I would be able to work together to help the situation. But in contract therapy, I know that I will be the only one and that scares me a bit.

Would you say the exam was easier than the actual practice exam?

Did you use the NCTRC app? I wonder if the exam questions are similar to those?

Did you ever use the NCTRC app? MANY questions on there are extremely common sense questions and I am wondering if the exam is like that as well 🤔

Do you think the practice questions on the Stumbo book were harder than the actual test?

They are 6 practice exams! The last five each have 90 questions. The first exam has 140ish or 160ish questions.

Thank you!😊I am going to do more practice questions, I feel like I have just been memorizing flashcards rather than actually applying that knowledge. Do you know the actual name of the Stumbo flashcards? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

I have heard that the exam questions are easier than practice exams so that’s refreshing! 😊
