Occupational Therapy Uniforms

Mildred Said:

Occupational Therapy Uniform?

We Answered:

The best place to get workwear from is Alexandra Workwear. They are on the 'Official' lists of Hospitals, Catering, Bus Companies and a lot of other places.

Need help chosing b/w these to Health careers!?

We Answered:

Perhaps you can do some volunteer work (will most likely be non-direct patient care) at a local hospital and/or nursing home. Both nursing and OT can be emotionally and physically draining as my cousin went to school for occupational therapy assistant. I believe that most jobs in OT these days are found in nursing homes/long-term care facilities and may include dealing with residents (name for patients that, unfortunately, live in a nursing home) that have had a stroke ("brain attack"), those with a hip replacement, amputated limb or such.

Please do consider observing the various areas that an OT may work with such as pediatrics, geriatrics, outpatient/hand therapy and/or those with a traumatic brain injury (tbi) or spinal cord injury (sci) and please keep in mind that it's never the same as when actually having a patient caseload :) One's curriculum usually includes working with various populations regardless of where they intend to work after finishing clinical fieldwork and all of the school's requirements.
