 | #OTalk @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT Wouldn't be the same without you 😋 #OTalk |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello peeps! #otalk |
 | Minh Tran @otramblings @OTalk_ Darnit forgot the #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @otramblings We look forward to seeing her! 🐇 #OTalk |
 | Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody I’m here lurking #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Tonight's chat is hosted by @emmaspellmanOT, with @colourful_ot here on the #OTalk account (and looking forward to seeing what useful tips for students I can pick up!) |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @emmaspellmanOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT Go ahead! :) #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Can we hold up any discussions at this point? #otalk tweets are not showing up for people who are trying to follow the hashtag. |
 | deb_OT @dmay_ot Evening #otalk. Twitter feed and ability to type both failing me tonight but I'm hoping to learn top tips before I graduate in the summer! |
| Minh Tran @otramblings RT @OTalk_: Tonight's #OTalk chat! 8pm! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @SLawsonOT Hello! #OTalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody I’m having a hard time following tonigh. My page does not seem to be refreshing the latest post I can see is about an hour ago 🤔 #OTalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @BillWongOT #otalk yeah it’s not working 👎🏾 |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT I Suppose It Means The Student Reigns Being Cut Off To Allow You To Mate Your Own Clinical Judgement And All The Skills Associated With That. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @emmaspellmanOT Can complete all necessary tasks of an entry level qualified OT practitioner can do, have sound clinical reasoning, can adjust to the flow of the current work setting. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @SLawsonOT @dmay_ot Not just you! The most recent Tweet I can see is my 15 minute warning... might have to get IT support involved? 🤨 @GeekyOT #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BillWongOT: @emmaspellmanOT Can complete all necessary tasks of an entry level qualified OT practitioner can do, have sound clinical reasoning, can adjust to the flow of the current work setting. #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody #otalk more moving and handling practice & functional assessments would have been good to prepare me. However I think it would be so difficult to be prepared if you don’t know where you will end up. |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @OTalk_ @SLawsonOT @GeekyOT If I filter to #otalk its about 25 mins behind. I'm getting some stuff through my standard feed but very little. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @o_neill91 Great insight! I think barriers are going to be question 4 in tonight's chat so you're way ahead of us! 😃 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @o_neill91: |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot RT @BillWongOT: @emmaspellmanOT Can complete all necessary tasks of an entry level qualified OT practitioner can do, have sound clinical reasoning, can adjust to the flow of the current work setting. #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot But what are the "necessary tasks of a entry level OT practitioner? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @dmay_ot @SLawsonOT @GeekyOT Frustrating! I'll do my best to find everyone's Tweets and retweet them - as long as it catches up eventually they should all be in the transcript afterwards #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @beckycooper___: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot Can perform treatments and evaluations independently (unless it is something that requires supervision for certification requirements), can document what went on during treatments independently. #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @emmaspellmanOT #otalk my practice educator from my hospital placement was a great support during and after my placement. She helped prepare me, she even helped with my application for work. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @VickySwift16 @emmaspellmanOT #otalk have you started looking for work? Do you know what setting you would like to be in? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @beckycooper___: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2! Hope the technical difficulties aren't making it too difficult for everyone to keep up with the chat - if you include the @OTalk_ tag as well as the #OTalk it'll guarantee we get to see everyone's Tweets even if the hashtag's not working! |
| Minh Tran @otramblings @emmaspellmanOT #OTalk As a new practitioner, I naively believed having an ot degree under my belt was all I needed to practice. As an experienced practitioner, ‘prepared’ now means the degree plus knowing about the organisation, clinical specialty and up to date EBP |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @emmaspellmanOT #otalk one of the 1st things she did was try to understand my learning style. She took me through the OT process. She showed me how to apply theory to practice, in a Nhs setting. Something I struggled with in ACS setting! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @emmaspellmanOT As a clinical educator for my 1 week placements, I give students plenty of time to ask me questions about what they will face in future placements and eventually in practice. #otalk |
 | Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ I don't truely think anything can prepare you for practice. I thought i was prepared, I did all my research, brought a diary, organised myself and then spent the first 3 months feeling like a fish out of water #otalk |
 | Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ @OTalk #OTalk Practice educators and completion of a range of placements extending skills and competence, university lecturers and personal tutors through education and discussion. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @emmaspellmanOT And now in academia, I need to tell stories about what students may expect before they start their first placements. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @o_neill91: |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @carspring27 @OTalk_ @BillWongOT @emmaspellmanOT #otalk yes I found that too. You go out into the community and people call you the #expert #scarytimes 🤦🏾♀️ |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @o_neill91 @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT I agree- NQ occupational therapy practitioners should be proactively asking questions! They are not expected to be spoon fed with info, though. #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @beckycooper___: |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @beckycooper___ #otalk I’m finding the same problem. It’s really frustrating 😤 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ As much as lecturers etc can help to prepare you i think its vital to talk to other newely qualified ots, even just for a bit of reasurance and honesty, it's a challenging transitiom but you're not alone #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @carspring27 @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT At least you are not like me yet... imagine doing 2 TEDx talks before your 5th year of practice... lol! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @o_neill91: |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @OTalk_ #otalk @otalk I’ll give it a go 🤨 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @o_neill91: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @ErinOTstudent @OTalk_ I heard iy myself but it wasn't until I experienced it first hand that I actually believed it #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @OTalk_ And if you are students with disabilities, finding somebody who understands what you are going through is HUGE! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @BillWongOT @OTalk_ 100%!!!! #otalk |
 | OTAmazing @OTAmazing RT @emmaspellmanOT: |
 | Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri Same thing is happening with me as well. #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @otramblings @emmaspellmanOT #otalk 💯 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @OTalk_ A year before I qualified, finding a qualified OT with autism was huge reassurance thing for me. That was the concrete visually I needed that I can become an OT too! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BillWongOT: @Amie_OT @OTalk_ And if you are students with disabilities, finding somebody who understands what you are going through is HUGE! #otalk |
 | Toks O @TokunboTweetz @emmaspellmanOT Practice educators! Students should be given a lot more automony as the level of responsibility once you qualify can be a bit of a shock to the system 😳 @OTalk_ #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JacquiG47 @carspring27 @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT Well- try being the only occupational therapist at a 200+ bed facility... even though you also have occupational therapy assistants on the team treating patients on OT caseload. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ I hope that as a first time educator last year I helped my student to feel more relaxed about graduating. We are still in contact as I hope she would feel she could get in touch at any time if she needed it #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @beckycooper___: |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great responses to Q.2 - seems like lots of useful information for both students & practice educators to take away from tonight #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @TokunboTweetz: @emmaspellmanOT Practice educators! Students should be given a lot more automony as the level of responsibility once you qualify can be a bit of a shock to the system 😳 @OTalk_ #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @emmaspellmanOT: Q3: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Abbyg0125 @OTalk_ It took me a week or two in my first role to 'get over' the pressure i was putting on myself to be 'perfect'. It was only when I asked questions that I started to learn #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @TokunboTweetz @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT I actually do that sometimes with my one weekers. If they are competent, I will give them my entire day’s schedule and I will give them appropriate level of supervision. Then, we will debrief what went well and what didn’t. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ I hope that by openly discussing how I found the transition from student to professional I helped my student feel less alone and mpre comforted #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ I remembered when I did my hand therapy placement. The month before I posted on Facebook on what I needed to prepare for it. A day later, I got a textbook and looked up things on Pinterest. That was very helpful. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JacquiG47 @carspring27 @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT Sometimes the state of business (at least in US)... you might be forced to be in such a situation. So it is important to know what you are walking into with your job interview. #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @emmaspellmanOT #otalk @otalk Provide then with a good induction process written by OT’s rather than another profession. Breaking down the OT process & supporting the student/NQOT to fit it to that specific setting. Explanation of report writing expected 4 that setting. Good hands on experience |
| Toks O @TokunboTweetz @beckycooper___ @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ All my educators were amazing but realised how much I was sheltered and protected as a student. Once qualified, you don’t have the ‘student’ title as a defence mechanism #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @VickySwift16 @emmaspellmanOT #otalk @otalk I was the same. I struggled applying theory to practice. Didn’t understand how the OT role fitting within my setting. |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ I feel it's important to talk about the transition as it's HUGE and I don't feel like its talked about enough. Hopefully the more we talk the more students will feel like they are not alone, we all start in the same position #OTalk |
| Minh Tran @otramblings @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ #otalk for me, the best way was really learning on the job with a very patient senior. I think if a senior is aware that a newly qualified will be joining, they could help prep before the job starts. |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @SophieHeywood29 @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT @OTCumbria We had a group of ex-students come to @UoE_OT to talk, it was invaluable! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @TokunboTweetz @beckycooper___ @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ In the US... license applicant is the last line of defense after student phase is over. But it can only be used one time until you take the licensing test for the first time. If you fail, though, you can’t apply for that again. You can’t be a practitioner until you pass. #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @TokunboTweetz @beckycooper___ @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ #otalk @otalk mine was amazing too. She pushed me, not uncomfortably but she recognised my lack of confidence & supported me through it. By the end of my placement I was on my own and very confident too. |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @SophieHeywood29 @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT @OTCumbria @UoE_OT And don’t underestimate #otalk too! |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @BillWongOT @SophieHeywood29 @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT @OTCumbria @UoE_OT @OTalk_ is a life line :) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @otramblings @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ In some job climates... if you are locum, you need to be able to learn independently without much support from senior staff. #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @HeyitsjadeJade @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT Talking about not putting too much pressure on yourself is so important #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @o_neill91 @carspring27 @sherlynmelody @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT @otalk And even new job changes too! I remembered I probably asked the most specific questions with my new teaching job last week! #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @o_neill91: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @emmaspellmanOT Personally I focused so much on "finishing the course" I wasn't always thinking about what happens next! (Dreadful i know) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @HeyitsjadeJade @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT Well- this is something that this OT has been getting worse at! I am doing high wire acts and my balance is like an intense game of Jenga... lol! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @emmaspellmanOT I think how each program prepares the student is a bit different. But regardless, it is always good to connect with alumni so that you can know what to expect. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @HeyitsjadeJade @OTalk_ @emmaspellmanOT Learning that I don't know all the answers was hard but such a relief. I ask questions everyday and I'm learning but each day I'm improving #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @emmaspellmanOT @BillWongOT @HeyitsjadeJade @OTalk_ It taskes practice to get that balance right, I don't always get it right but I think recognising those times that I need time for myself is important #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Second last question and 10 minutes to go until the end of the chat! Hasn't the hour flown by? 😁 #OTalk |
 | Katie @Katie_Next @emmaspellmanOT Being so focused on finishing the course or getting a job, you kind of forget to take the time to really prepare for practice! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @emmaspellmanOT @Amie_OT @HeyitsjadeJade @OTalk_ When the licensing responsibilities is off my shoulders for TEDx, I will feel a lot better. I am much better team member than as someone having to oversee everything. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @emmaspellmanOT @HeyitsjadeJade @OTalk_ The only thing I intentionally do weekly is golf. I actually sometimes treat myself to play at some awesome courses when I am away. #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @BillWongOT @emmaspellmanOT @HeyitsjadeJade @OTalk_ I've started to needlefelt! #meaningfuloccupations #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Zaytun_D @emmaspellmanOT I offer that often to my placement students. I always joked that they got 3 placements in one when they are with me! #otalk |
| Toks O @TokunboTweetz @OTalk_ I say this with caution: but the reality of limited resources and pressures on services. At uni, you’re sold the OT dream in reality, it’s hard to implement everything you would like to do as a holistic practitioner in practice #otalk @OTalk_ |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @emmaspellmanOT @HeyitsjadeJade @OTalk_ Haha- for me golf is meaningful because I can’t let my math brain go to waste. Although I never studied game theory, but I love this kind of math. Golf is my interactive game theory course. 🤓 #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Last question! It's been a great chat tonight, Twitter issues aside 😊 #OTalk |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ More conversations, open discussions, peer mentorship, support networks and asking questions #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Zaytun_D One advice I often heard when I was in your shoes was... if you feel you have something special to offer to the profession, sometimes the moments when you need to use such specialty appear sooner than you think. #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @emmaspellmanOT #otalk @otalk try and apply all your theory to practice. Ensure you understand what you are taking away from all your placements. Document your reflections always, that will build up your own experience and help with clinical reasoning. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Amie_OT: @OTalk_ More conversations, open discussions, peer mentorship, support networks and asking questions #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Zaytun_D And sometimes if you have a great opportunity to do something in OT, don’t shy away just because you are inexperienced. You have to be brave and take advantage... because it might not come around again if you hesitate. #otalk |

| Toks O @TokunboTweetz @emmaspellmanOT A down to earth conversation about managing ones own expectations and the expectations of others, learning it’s ok to say no, and to ask for help! #otalk @OTalk_ |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @carspring27 @emmaspellmanOT #otalk @otalk this was very useful for me. I was in a day service and my class mates were around the corner in a hospital it was good to share learning and look at our placement reports and compare. |
 | Nix 🤓 @thisisnix (Applicable not just to your first OT role, but to every single new OT post you’ll go into!) Spot on response here👇 #OTalk 💚👍 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @TokunboTweetz @OTalk_ And now something I can say to OT students is- if you want to make #Othistory, you are going to work your butt off just to have a chance to do that. But if you see such an opportunity, don’t let go! #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @Abbyg0125 @emmaspellmanOT #otalk @otalk you are so right. I think it is a difficult thing to do. I think as long as we can fit the OT process into our jobs or vice versa, that’s a good place to start, maybe?! |
