Take It From Your Peers: You CAN Get Paid to Work in Eldercare and Hospice

By Ann Catlin, LMT, NCTMB, OTR

My last article focused on keys to opening doors to eldercare and hospice. If you desire to work in these settings, my guess is you have wondered: 1) How do I get my foot in the door? 2) How do I generate a clientele? 3) How can I get paid? All very valid questions!

2010 FSMTB Annual Meeting Held in Member Board Jurisdiction of Puerto Rico

The fifth annual Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) conference will be held October 7-9 at the El San Juan Hotel & Casino in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Registration is now open.

"The FSMTB always holds the annual meeting in a member-board State/territory," said Debra Persinger, FSMTB executive director. "Cost is a primary consideration and for 2010, the FSMTB was able to secure extremely favorable hotel rates ($119/night) at a charming property. In general, air travel to Puerto Rico is no greater than travel within the continental U.S. In addition, the Puerto Rico board has been very supportive of the FSMTB with regard to developing the Spanish language MBLEx."
