Hi everyone,
Okey i am going to post this here because i figured i could get more responses from you guys. one of my friends is being convinced to change from getting into nursing to pursuing OT instead. she figures she will still be working with patients albeit at a different level. a school in our area is expanding their OT program and are currently recruiting for fall 09. it is going to be a 28 month stint-6 months of which are field experience- she is comparing the hours-8 to 5 versus the differing nursing schedules.
So what do you guys think. Do OTs make more than nurses as she is being told? is the program more difficult-she was told her pre-nursing classes will transfer in and she will graduate with an MS specializing in OT. Any input will be appreciated.:typing
