Hello, I have been an OT for 14 years now, and have loved being in inpatient rehab for all of those years! I especially love working with neuro patients because i get to be creative with my treatments and love to work one on one with patients and see their incredible progress. I have a toddler now and have switched to PRN since having him, but th call offs from sickness and just life events are killing me! My job is super understanding, but i’m on my last leg with call offs and the drive is also a lot… ( i live 45 mins from work). I am thinking of switching to school based peds for the better schedule and home life balance in the next couple years when he enters school. Has anyone else made the jump from Inpatient rehab to schools? Do you enjoy it? Is the caseload super crazy to manage? Was the pay different ( pay cut?)? Is your day pretty structured? Any course recommendations to brush up on my peds skills? Overall just wanting to know what the transition would be like TIA!
