Congratulations! Let me know if you have any questions during undergrad ☺ And aw thank you, I am here now and that is all that matters

Aw thank you, I am so happy it has helped you! Congratulations on the job offer ☺👏🏻 My license process was fairly quick! I believe it got approved within a few weeks or a couple of months :) From what I remember, you could only apply once you were done with school since you had to have hours approved and a document from school saying that you received your degree, I applied a week or so after graduation.

Aw oh my gosh! Thank you for thinking that, I just try to have fun 😭

Hi! Thank you so much for reaching out about this plus congratulations! I honestly was never a big "write in a notebook" girl- I typically would make my study sets on Quizlet during class so I could start studying them. I have a bunch left on my profile if you want me to share! It is also beneficial to know the process of what you are learning about, not just studying surface value but really being able to discuss the topic with others and know your stuff :)

Sure sharing would be great, if you don’t mind! I’m curious about what kinds of things exactly I’ll be studying. I’m supposed to start classes in May and even though I did great in undergrad, I’m an out of field student and haven’t been in school since 2017, so I’m a little nervous!

@@mcgillshelby Of course! You will do great plus everyone will be nervous in your program so you will have good people around you to help ease your feelings 🙂 Here is the name: taylor_wach (check out my folders and you will see all of the classes!)

I am in Maryland! But I am seeing overall that the pay is not up to par for all of our education and work we do in the different settings :)

Aw, thank you so much! Good luck with everything, I hope you found out some good news yesterday ☺

@@YourLocalSpeechie thank you I did find out I got in. I am so excited

@@brigittealexander1967 Congratulations! 🎉🎉 You are going to do great!

@@YourLocalSpeechie thank you so much I am so excited to start my journey.

That is so exciting! Good luck & I hope it all goes well ☺

Aw thank you so much! 🥰 Let me know if you have any questions!

I apologize for such a late response! Yes, I am referring to SOAP notes :)

Congratulations! I am excited for you😍

Unfortunately, yes 😭

I agree! And that is exhausting, I'm sorry 😭 It is hard out here!

Hi! Thank you for the kind words, I am glad this was helpful! Congrats on almost being done 👏🏻It is so good to meet another TU speechie!

Hey Melanie!! You are so sweet, thank you 🥰 I am happy you enjoy these! So far in my clinic, I have seen a lot of sensory/autism kiddos and early intervention! Only a handful of articulation kiddos. And for schools, the caseload depends on how old your kids are and the type of school :) 1) School pros: if you are working for the district you will get: better benefits, a better work shift (typically out by 3 pm), summer off if you want, you make your own schedule of when you see the kiddos, you might have a high caseload but you can group kids to make it easier, salary over hourly School cons: likely lower pay, a lot of documentation, many meetings, you will do things out of your field (bus duty, etc), can be hard if teachers are rude and don't like when you take kids out of class 2) Clinic pros: 1:1 sessions, likely higher pay, potential for more training and help from other slps working with you Clinic cons: less benefits, some won't pay you if a client cancels, high caseload, more evals, long days (most clinics close around 6 pm) I personally would not switch populations simply because I feel more comfortable with kids and I prefer that caseload over stroke, dysphagia, etc! Let me know if you have more questions! I appreciate your comments ☺

@@YourLocalSpeechie Thank you so much for answering my questions! 💖I really appreciate it! I'll take note of these☺ I hope you're doing well and have a wonderful rest of your week 💖

Thank you for such a sweet message! I am happy it was helpful, and don't worry, more to come! 🥰

I am so happy you enjoyed! ❤

Hi Jazmin! Congrats on already being at the third week, you got this ☺ And I appreciate that you enjoy my journey, that is why I made these! I felt so nervous/stressed in grad school and just wanted to know someone else felt the same. Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you Samantha! ☺️

I am always here to talk! I am sorry you are having mixed feelings, but congratulations on graduate school ☺ I will send you my old student email so I don't publish my personal email out here but it's [email protected].

AW thank you Stephanie! 🥰 I am so glad the honesty and transparency was taken well.

Of course! Congratulations on grad school ☺ You'll do great!

I loved hearing your story! It sounds similar to mine, how I was the B student also and the first time I got denied for the undergrad program I was going to pursue early childhood studies :) It is great to see where you are now, congrats on being in the second year! Almost done 👏🏻👏🏻 Can't wait to see where you go after grad school!

Hi! I use google slides + a bunch of transparent gifs :) I usually find cute simple backgrounds for the slides in google images also! I have another video on my channel from when I made my telehealth slides a year ago and I follow the same plan now, that video is more in depth ☺ Great question!

Hi Elizabeth! Yay, that's great! Congratulations on almost finishing school also ☺ If you have any questions about the setting and my thoughts so far just let me know!

@@YourLocalSpeechie I definitely will! :)

Aw thank you so much! Of course! ☺

Hi! There is so much that goes with it that we never discussed during graduate school, so there are pros and cons for sure :) I am feeling okay right now, but of course I still feel like I don't know what I am doing and with that comes negative feelings at work, but I have heard that a majority of speechies grow their clinic skills stILL for a few years after graduating, so I know with confidence and time I will feel better!

I am so glad it helped out! Thank you so much and good luck with the process 😊

That's what I do it for, I am that you enjoyed this video ☺ Good luck with the interviews!!

Good question! I mainly studied from my Quizlet folders that I have made for my classes throughout the years :) I added links to the Praxis folders I studied from in the bio as well! I never really focus on taking notes since I already did during the program!

Thank you so much, Kate! You are so nice 🥺 I am happy to hear that you enjoyed this topic!

Your quizlet was a savior during those times 🙏🏻 Thank you <3 Same to you, we did it!!

Of course! I know I was so stressed trying to figure out how to study without the books but I felt like I was able to study a good amount of information from the quizlets ☺️ I agree also, time goes by sooo quick in grad school! You're gonna do great, it'll be so nice to skip those comps 🙏🏻

Hi! I am a second-year graduate student in an SLP program. I do not recommend taking the Praxis in your undergraduate years because you will not have gone through all the classes and academic experience yet for the test. I took my Praxis early for my second year but it is recommended to take the Praxis before you graduate from grad school.

@@YourLocalSpeechie Thank you for replying. Thank you so much for valuable information!

@@sairaestherthomas9421 Of course! Let me know if you have any other questions ☺️

Good luck tomorrow ☺️ is always nerve-wracking in the beginning, but yes I promise that is so normal and everyone will feel scared! Let me know if you have any more questions about the clinic process, that part definitely felt so unknown to me!

Oh my gosh, it was such a challenge for me to get through! We got this ❤️ Thankfully it goes by quick!

appreciate you as always ❤️

@@YourLocalSpeechie 💙💙

Thank you for the sweet words!

Thank you so much 🙏🏻I will say it is such a broad field with many topics, so just be aware that it might be overwhelming at first to learn it all! You will learn a lot of information but it will be very exciting and enriching :) Did you want specifics to the classes or anything else you want to know?

@@YourLocalSpeechie What was the most challenging class you had taken in your undergrad program?

@@BB23573 Hmm, I would say speech science and neuroanatomy were more difficult than the others! Although I will say, I have never been a fan of that content so studying was probably harder in those classes compared to others.
