Where are y'all working?

So, where is everybody working? I've heard from a few people. I've accepted a job with Davis School District. I know I was the one that wanted to go medical, whatever, we'll see how it goes. So what are you guys doing for work???

Luke and I are off to the Florida beaches BABY! We are working for the school year in two rural schools near Panama City Beach area (Northwest in the Bay/ Panhandle). It has connections with a private practice in Boise so we can come back and work there any after are CFY's or stay longer. We are looking forward to it but are a little scare too. We leave the end of July! Congratulations no the job with Davis! We interviewed with them too. What school age are you working with?
Good luck. You can always work per diem Medical to get your foot in the door. Don't forget that! How did your medical internship go? Where was it at again?

I know that I'll be working at an elementary school, but they have told me which one yet. I don't start until mid august. I did my medical externship at South Davis Community Hospital in Bountiful. I got to learn a little of everything there. I'll try to keep the website updated, let me know if there's anything you want to post on it. Hope you guys have fun in Florida.

For the summer, I'm working at a place called Celebration Speech Therapy Services. It is a private practice owned by the mother of my 17 year old best lifeguard friend. I get paid an obscene amount of money for doing something we were all doing for free last month. Scratch that, we were actually paying for it. Anyway, in the fall we are really moving to texas and I'm really working in a ghetto school district down there. Alex will student teach down there, and people keep telling us to not live within the district. Scary..
Anyway, that's me, the other part of the time, I'm teaching lots of swimming lessons and coaching swim team. So, I'm making money this summer to say the least.

Cooooool Genna! Where is Celebration? Never heard of it. That
sounds like fun. I bet you'll like working in a ghetto district in TX
cuz the kids will probably really need someone good so you can make a
big difference.
I'm at UofU Hospital where I did my intern....ehm-- externship. I
really like it. It keeps me on my toes and forces me to read, yes,
textbooks!! Well, I haven't started reading them yet, but I am
planning on it, I swear. I think. :) I just took over for a lady
who has been there over 20 years and is this amazing aphasia expert.
BIG shoes to fill-- it's scary!
K, so I wanna hear more about this Celebration Speech Tx place. Was
it in her home? Was it mostly kids?
Bob, ain't no shame in working for Davis County! Maybe you will
replace me at Adams Elementary and get my old mentor. Rad! Anyway,
I'm sure you'll be great. If you want any of my books and files, I
have a whole library now! I copied everything my mentor would let me.
:) Oh, and another little secret I found is that there are speech
"aides" called Communication Specialists and you can request them
whenever and they can come do therapy for you while you prep/test or
they make copies and bulletin boards or ANYTHING. It was awesome. I
requested them all the time and they work shockingly fast. Cool,
right?
By the way, this is to everyone (sorry this is turning into a novel).
I am engaged! Yes, it's exciting. The date is September 22, so mark
your calendars. You're all invited. Yea!!!
Love, Kristin

Hey all, I am working at a private practice in Twin Falls ID (the promise land). I do a smorgasbord of things but mostly peds. I, like Bob, did not really see myself in peds as my first job but I am actually really enjoying it. I also work a couple of hours in a nursing home and will be working 1-2 days in a very small school in the fall. Keep in touch.

Hi all, For the summer I am not working. Well, not at a paying job anyway.
I have painted the exterior of my house, painted several rooms on the
interior, laid tile in my basement, etc. You get the picture we are putting
our house on the market in July. Our new house has basement walls so far,
WOW! In the fall I am working for Weber School District at the school my
daughter will attend. I am so nervous, the SLP that left was amazing. I
have some big shoes to fill. Good luck to you all, Janet

Hey kids,
So, everybody probably already knows this but I am working at LDS Hospital.
I really like it so far. I am working 7 on/7 off. Going to work Sunday
morning (my last day of my 7 on) is pretty tough, but having a week off is
nice. I move to the new IHC Hospital in Sandy in October. It didn't really
hit me that I was actually graduated and working as an "official" SLP until
I had to call a Dr. and say "this is Rachel Bills, a speech therapist at LDS
hospital". That was pretty fun :)!! I was sent to a FEES training this last
weekend and ran into Wes Godfrey. I even got to practice doing FEES on him!!
They tried to pass the scope in my nose, but couldn't get the camera through
- most likely because I broke my nose when I was little - and that really
hurt!! If you ever get to go to FEES training and someone passing the scope
says, "wow, I am not sure if we can get the scope through there", just tell
them to stop right then!!
Anyway, everything is going really well for me at my new job. And just so
everyone knows I did exactly what I always said I was going to do when I got
my first paycheck.....hired someone to clean my house! She is worth every
penny! :)
Let's keep these coming guys, I want to know what everyone is doing!

Reporting Scores

I wish I would have known this before. I think I only had my scores sent to USU and to the state of Utah. Err, does that mean I'm going to have to pay extra? Oh, it was nice to finally get my praxis score back. Here is the useful email from Linda.

Hi everyone,
I went on the ASHA website and this is what I found out regarding Janet's question. I cut and pasted it here with the reference. Sorry my font and size are so large. I can't seem to change it. It started when I cut and pasted this info. (I feel like I am shouting, but pretend I am whispering, okay?)

Are any of you planning on attending the summer seminar at USU in 2 weeks?

See ya,
Linda

Reporting Scores

Exam results must be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) in order to be applicable toward certification. When you register to take the exam, request that your score be reported directly to ASHA. ETS charges an additional fee to report scores after the examination has been taken.

To have ETS report your score to ASHA use the code R-5031 for Certification on the exam Registration Form as indicated in the ETS "Registration Bulletin."

Your score will be sent to the ASHA National Office within 8 weeks of the examination date. The National Office is able to automatically match scores with individuals only if your application for certification is on file with the Certification office at the time the score is received and if a computer record has been established for you.

To assist the National Office in processing your examination information, it will be helpful if you submit a copy of the report sent to you by the testing service when you submit your application for certification. However, please note that this copy will not be used as official verification of completion of the examination requirement.
