What experience does this role require?
Most therapy roles require an active state license and 0–2 years of experience. Acute care and specialty roles (ICU rehab, NICU, pediatric feeding) typically expect 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
Which certifications do I need?
BLS is standard for hospital and home-health roles. Setting-specific credentials (OCS, CHT, NDT, BCBA, BCS-S) help in competitive applicant pools.
Are evening, weekend, or PRN differentials offered?
Yes — most employers pay PRN, evening, and weekend differentials, and home-health agencies often pay per-visit rates that exceed equivalent hourly pay.
