Occupational therapist in NEA area!!!

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST in NEA, Arkansas—quick questions on your work setting, pay, and loan help!

Hey everyone! I’m an OT doctorate student in NEA, Arkansas, and I’d love some insight. If you’re an OT in the area—Jonesboro or Paragould—what setting are you in (inpatient, outpatient, mental health, or unique settings like wound care)? What’s the pay like, and has your workplace helped with loan repayment? I’m exploring fieldwork options and curious what OT looks like in this area. Side note: I do have an undergraduate degree in psychology, so I’m always interested in jobs that incorporate that with OT as well! I also have a strong love for older adults so even insight on positions like hospice care are appreciated!

EDITED TO ADD: If you are currently a practicing OT/OTR what is your work setting, location, and pay?

ANY advice, tips/tricks, etc are appreciated! Thank you all in advance!!
