Registered Nurse Practitioner?

I work for the DOE and am thinking of going on leave next school year to be with my young son for one year at which time he will be ready for preschool (they're only babies once!!  :)).  I obviously won't be able to work every day, so I'm looking for some creative ways to be able to make some money to ease the financial burden.  Any ...

I thought the same thing, but really, who cares about how old you'll be.  If you don't go back to school, you'll be 28/29 with no master's degree.  Look at it that way.  I was 32 when I graduated and am 36 now.  I am very happy I went back to school too!  Go for it!   Erika 

I ditto that suggestion to just get your masters degree.  I already had a bachelors also and getting the masters was a good decision.  As a COTA, you get paid a lot less (and from experience know that COTA's do alot of the grunt work, seeing patient after patient like an assembly line).  I also live in NY and I went to SUNY ...

  Thank you all for your suggestions.  Since my original post, I've discovered that he likes to be a ''insert name here'' sandwich, being smushed by two gym mats.  He also likes to push and pull me on a scooter board.  After these two things, I can get him to focus slightly longer on table top activities.  By the way, his ...

I realize that when it comes to children, people are very sensitive, so I guess I can understand your reaction.  However, #1, I did not say ''special school'', I said ''different school'' meaning a District 75 school (which is what a special ed school in the public system is called in NY).  #2, when I said that he's here and I have to ...

This child is in kindergarten and is verbal.  His K teacher has a picture schedule already instituted in her class. His IEP has a fine motor and graphomotor goal.  Should I start off the session with some of the activities you suggested and then try to work on some of those goals or are those goals to lofty for him now.  Still holds ...

I've been a therapist for 4 years, but am new treating kids and new to the public school system.  I work in a regular ed school and I see a boy twice a week who is severely autistic.  He really belongs in a different kind of school, but his mother is resisting.  Anyway, he's here and I have to treat him.  The last time I saw ...

Before going to school, I also volunteered at two different hospitals.  I just called or went directly to the hospital's volunteer office.  All hospitals have one.  I told them I was going to OT school and would like to volunteer my time in their OT clinic.  I think I went 2 times a week for like 4 hours, but since it's ...
