When the OT student copies your session ideas🤗All jokes aside, we’ve loved having Sammi with us over the past 5 weeks as she’s been shadowing our OTs in the clinic. She has been such a wonderful addition to the team—always helpful, engaged, and so natural with the kids (who absolutely adore her!). We’re so proud of all she’s achieved during her placement and wish her all the very best for her final year at uni next year. You’re going to make an incredible OT, Sammi! 💛 #OTstudent #occupationaltherapy #clinicalplacement

what my current caseload & role looks like as an OT student in a skilled nursing facility! 🏥🧠 #occupationaltherapy #gradstudent #healthcare #healthcareeducation #otstudent
Reintroducing myself, I’m Anna! I’m an OT student in level IIB fieldwork⭐️ I love posting and sharing my OT journey! I’m so happy you’re here! #healthcare #otstudent #occupationaltherapy #gradschool
One of my biggest regrets as an OT student was not going through with applying for the DOE scholarship. If you didn’t already know, this scholarship pays your full ride of grad school (look into the details because there’s a catch). To my defense, I was set on getting into the hand therapy area of practice. However, after graduation, I realized the reality of it all and when I was offered a position at a school setting I couldn’t pass up the great opportunity. When looking at the grand scheme of things and how I want to live my life- working in the school department was a better fit for me and the lifestyle I want to have. Having said that, although the benefits of working in the school system are great, it’ll take me longer to take care of my loans because I didn’t apply for the scholarship. So, if asked what’s my advice for OT grad students, which I have been, I’d say to search for scholarships and consider applying to them, regardless of the setting you think you’ll end up working at. Because you might miss out on a great opportunity and you just never know 😉 __ #occupationaltherapist #occupationaltherapy #relatedservices #relatedserviceproviders #schoolot #schoolbasedot #occupationalbalance #occupationaltherapist #specialeducation #pediatricot #newotgrad #occupationaltherapyassistant
Whether you’re an OT student, a new occupational therapist, or an OT who’s a bit unsure or dissatisfied with your career choice, I have some good helpful news for you 🤗 First, you’re not alone in your feelings of uncertainty. Many fresh-out-of-school folks feel like something’s… missing. We all know that feeling, but Nancy, aka @lovelyy_ot is once again hosting the “Becoming a Successful & Confident OT/COTA Clinician” Zoom workshop THIS WEEKEND to help ease those worries! Starting on Saturday, August 13th, over 20 seasoned OTs and COTAs will be speaking on 16 different topics, like landing your first job, negotiating salary and benefits, and even which setting could be right for you. I highly recommend this workshop, and if you’re interested, use my name (@thatot_momlife) when registering! I’m so excited to see your faces and help you feel more confident with the skills you have — and the ones you’ll leave with❤️
study vlog as an OT student! 🌱 get ready for the next two weeks…you’ll slowly start to see the life taken away from me bc a girl is STRESSED 💔 my methods might be a little ✨ insane & unorganized ✨ but my work will always get done and stand by that🙂‍↕️🥳 #otstudent #otschool #occupationaltherapystudent #occupationaltherapy #ot
PRN acute care is so nice for my schedule…As an OT student on level II fieldwork working for 6 months with no pay is ROUGH🫠 so I’ve been picking up Saturday shifts recently! Also the weekends are usually heavy with ortho patients so I love getting to show them modified techniques and adapted equipment for greater independence when they return home😊 #occupationaltherapy #cota #otstudent #neurorehab #adls #cotaacutecare #acutecareot #inpatientrehab
If you’re an OT student scrolling this page because you’re terrified about student loans… You’re not alone 🫶🏾 I graduated OT school with $270,000 in student loans and honestly had no clue how repayment worked. I remember thinking “Yeah I’ll probably just die with these” ☠️ And when I did try to create a repayment plan, I felt instantly overwhelmed Income-driven plans, PSLF, refinancing, tax bombs - none of this was explained in school My original plan was to pay the minimum for 20 years and live my life because “everyone has student loans” But once I fell down the personal finance rabbit hole…everything changed And now I share everything I wish someone told me before graduation. The #1 thing to remember: Student loans feel complicated…but they’re not impossible to navigate. And the more you understand your options, the less scary they become. You’ve got this! 💚 ——— If you’re currently in school, comment “OT STUDENT” so I know who’s here 👀🎓
OT Student, Emily, created a live action tic tac toe ❌⭕️! Working on initiation to address freezing, dynamic balance, anterior/posterior/bilateral stepping to promote functional mobility, safely. It’s versatile and can also be used for clients post stroke to address grasp and release 🙌🏼 #neurorehab #therafit #newjersey #tictactoe #occupationaltherapy
To say I was stressed was an understatement 😥 When I was doing my clinical work as an OT student in peds, I was constantly in my head trying to come up with new interventions and activity ideas for every single client, every single day of every single week! I was far into my clinicals when my supervisor noticed how stressed I was and then told me I didn’t have to reinvent the wheel all the time (like why she didn’t tell me that a long time ago *side eye* 👀👀) It’s ok to repeat activities or even repeat whole sessions! As long as what you are working on is still in alignment with the child’s goals and as long as the child is still having fun… that’s all that matters! If you have been feeling stumped with activity ideas be sure to get a copy of the “Early Intervention Starter Kit!”. Comment “Ideas” and I’ll send you the link directly! #otactivities #otstrategies #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #pediatrictherapy #pediatrictherapist #pediatricoccupationaltherapy #pediatricoccupationaltherapist #pediatric #pediatricot #pediatriccota #cota #ota #otstudent #pediatricslp #pediatricspeechtherapy #pediatricspeechtherapist #earlyintervention #earlyinterventionslp #earlyinterventionot
Hope this resonates with some people in fieldwork rn! Being an OT student is challenging but so regarding! #occupationaltherapy #otstudent #gradstudent #microinfluencer #gradschool @MakeUpForEverUSA @NARS Cosmetics @L’Oréal Paris @rhode skin @Good Molecules
