Holy cow, I haven't updated in a while! To make the long story short, I became a traveling OT. In February, I was assigned to work in a skilled nursing facility for 13 weeks. Since I don't have WiFi at home and have limited data on my cell phone plan, I haven't been online as often as I would like. However, I've gotten used to it!
Starting my new job as an OTR was quite challenging, and I had to to put in a lot of hours, but I like what I do. I like most of the residents with the exception of a few who are just plain mean. There used to be two OTRs, but now it's just me and a COTA (certified occupational therapy assistant) who's very good... It just means MORE paperwork for me: completing evaluations and discharges, monthly recertifications and adding goals on weekly progress notes if needed.
I just renewed my 13-week contract with my current assignment, so I'm planning on moving to a place in VT which is about 3 miles away from where I work. I'm pretty excited since I plan on hiking and spending a lot of time outdoors! :)
