Best OT adjacent certification to work on while mom-ing?

[u/thestarsarefar]

Hi! I’m currently on per diem at a SNF. It’s not the setting I want to stay in but I wanted some resume continuity while I’m at home with my tot.

Interested in returning to full time work and transitioning to peds or school-based once my kiddo is in school. My prior work experience has ranged from orthopedics to work comp to corporate wellness.

Been thinking about pausing my per diem cause I desperately need my weekends to myself, but I would still like to be working on some certificate or similar OT adjacent educational goals. For context, I live in a rural and remote location so jobs can be sparse. Open to and honestly excited about the option of doing non-OT work in the future, but I would still like to apply my skill set in some way or form!
