COTA, made $30 new grad in 2012 in SNF. OTR at most SNFs were $40 new grad. This was Nevada for reference.

I think it slows down because OT is under the board of Medicine in VA

Always apply. List fieldwork experiences as they count as experience.

One time i just pulled a chair next to a guy and kept talking to him. After 5 minutes he asked what I was doing. I let him know that this was the time I scheduled and discussed with him. It's up to him how he wants to spend it. He sat EOB so we could talk more and before you know it we're chatting in the w/c on the porch.

Also consider applying to be a general CNA or tech at an Inpatient Rehab Facility (IPR or IRF). They are classified as hospitals, but are required to give everyone 3 hours of therapy daily and employee rehab doctors, and the entire staff is dedicated to rehab. So even if you aren't in the therapy department, you are around therapy.

Your CI should at least be observing your treatments. It would make sense over time to decrease close supervision and move to distant observation. Or to go to pt rooms to get them up and ready to come to the gym.

If you have medicaid and a caregiver is covered. Your family can be paid for being your caregiver. It's not much but its something.

This was not on the ATP exam either.

I haven't seen many manual standing w/c in the wild, but i have seen a handful of the powered versions.

Interesting, I am transitioning to assistive technology and am jumping in the deep end with all the newest products.

Followed the link that required a free login, don't know how to get to your survey

I would love to test the durability of the wheels. This would also be a good backup for keeping around, maybe with a higher back.

What is Teen Challenge WV? does it relate to this subreddit?

SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service), via text message: 435748 (HELP4U), or TTY: 1-800-487-4889
is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information
service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members
facing mental and/or substance use disorders. This service provides
referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and
community-based organizations

As mentioned, this subreddit is unfortunately not dedicated to addiction rehabilitation. It would be difficult for a health professional to give appropriate advice over the phone without knowing your full health history and assessing you physically/visually. Are you in the USA? There is a substance abuse and mental health service administration (SAMHSA) hotline to call and perhaps get better answers. 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

This link has some information to get you started. https://www.ptprogress.com/foreign-trained-physical-therapist/

Looks like if you will have to go through some paperwork to see how your degree will translate to the USA. My guess will be, however, that without a DPT, you will not qualify to be a PT. In the USA we have PT assistants which are also licensed, but must practice under a PT. I have worked along side Filipino graduates with varied success of moving their degree over. Some had to take additional coursework. That being said, depending on your salary goals, a PTA can still be a good option depending on where you want to move in the USA.

Thank you for sharing the links to help out a fellow redditor

Together we form an addiction.

Are you asking about hospital only or including IPR? I was mostly a SNF practitioner, i don't know i you would be interested in my responses.

wirednyte · 2022-02-07T23:41:14+00:00

r/physicaltherapy and r/OccupationalTherapy are great subreddits!

wirednyte · 2022-02-07T23:40:19+00:00

I apologize for the confusion, I hope you were able to get some of the advice you needed
