Re all the letters etc. My name tag at work reads MS OTR/L BCN It is amazing how many times people actually ask (patients, family members, and other health care professionals) what these all mean. It provides and exciting opportunity to educate people a little about our profession and to instill confidence in the fact that what we are doing and the occupational approach we are taking has some "legitimacy" and recognition. I always take the opportunity when asked to explain more about the profession. I do support NBCOT and I worked hard in Australia to get state licensure in the state I lived in. So these letter have significant meaning in terms of both the profession and my personal professional career.
