OT MIRI! I PASSED the NBCOT EXAM TODAY!! This was my second time taking it and I want to say thank you so much for all your content! I thought about all the stuff you taught me during the exam and it truly helped me paint a clearer picture of every topic that seemed daunting. You are a shining light in this field and I told myself I want to be one of those students who commented they "passed" on your page, and here I am today with the OTR added to my name. Thank you again for your helpful content! If you are reading this, don't give up! You are destined to become an Occupational Therapist - I believe in you!
I wish you could have been my professor. I learn so much from you and appreciate all the time you put into making these videos so all of us can feel more confident. I've gone through this section so many times, but it was still hard for me. Then here you come, and everything makes perfect sense! You really are amazing at what you do Miri! You make our profession shine!!!
Oh Diana, it would be wonderful to be able to teach in person one day. I love connecting with the OT community and it would be a dream to meet you and others in our community. Thank you so much for your very generous and kind words.
MIRI IS THE WIZARD OF OT!!! Thank you for all of your content! I take the test in two weeks and this is the most confident I have felt due to your content!
Aww, thank you for sharing your journey with me, Jacob. You'll be in my thoughts as you prepare to take your exam in 2 weeks. I pray that your confidence will continue to soar and ground you with unwavering confidence as you sit for the board exam.
Everytime I finish watching one of your videos I want to give you a standing ovation. I learn soooooooo much from you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you
That is so sweet of you to say. Every time I see a comment like yours, I am reminded that this project is not in vain. Providing free resources comes at the cost of personal sacrifices of time and expenses, but then I am continually reminded that no gift is greater than the gift of being able to bless and support someone towards greater happiness, fulfillment and success. I'm so happy and grateful to know that you have learned a lot from me and these resources. Thank you for being here and sharing your journey with me.
words are not t describe how much you are doing for the Occupational therapy practioners. The way you teach and make each and everything so simple is really appreciable. Thank you so much. I love the way you teach ,your voice your expressions.........it keeps the video stuff alive.
And words cannot describe how much I appreciate all your comments and continued engagement. It really brightens my day whenever I come across your messages, and although we've never met, I feel like we're already friends. Thank you for being here with your love and support, Hina. Please take good care of yourself during this time and stay safe.
Miri, I wanted to thank you for your wonderful videos and the community you’ve built. I took my exam last Thursday and I just found out that I passed today! I really credit you for helping me understand difficult topics and pinpointing what’s important to focus on in terms of OT intervention. You were a HUGE part in helping me prepare for the NBCOT! Thank you thank you!
Oh Tammy!! This is such great news- congratulations!! It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you better these last couple of months and I have truly enjoyed reading all your comments, feedback and heartfelt words of support. It really is so special that our lives were somehow forged together through our shared passion and occupation. Please keep in touch and I will hope to meet you one day at an AOTA conference or workshop!!

You're the best Miri! Words alone can't describe how grateful I am for your videos, resources and constant support. It's not much, but I made a little something and sent it to the mailing address on your website. Thank you so much for everything. You're the reason I didn't give up on OT and I hope to meet you one day in person. I look up to you so much and hope I can be like you someday.
Claudia!! You didn't have to... The greatest gift you can give me, truly, is the gift of your success and happiness as we share this journey together towards a common path. But I accept your heart and gesture with gratitude and will always look upon your gift as a reminder of what this community represents - a community of people who are brought together for a common purpose, passion and desire to edify, serve and uplift. I feel so blessed to be a part of it. Thank you for being her and for your generous heart. I feel so enriched...
Miri--I just wanted to thank you SO much for all of your videos. I have watched them all at least once and taken many pages of notes on them. I just found out today I passed the board exam and I KNOW that you were a big help for me. You deserve a Slagle award or something lol. Seriously...thank you!!!
Brandon, my friend. It has been an absolute pleasure corresponding with you these past few weeks and I have absolutely enjoyed every single comment you've left here on this channel. It makes such a big difference for me when I can connect with the community as you and I have connected, and I'm grateful that you were considerate to always leave your comments, feedback and words of support.

Thank you Miri for your burn videos! I am taking my exam in two days and I have been watching all of your videos on repeat because I don't think I can read another word! Your videos are so helpful in organizing information when it seems to be overwhelming to tackle and understand.
I'm happy to know we are sharing this journey together Kate! The days leading up to the exam can be stressful, but I hope you'll continue to relax and enjoy these videos. You can do it, Kate! I'll be thinking of you!!
Your enthusiasm is helping me keep my spirits up as I approach my test date (Next Friday, EEEKKK!!!!). Thank you so much for this & for making topics laughable at times when all I wanted to do was pull my hair out. You're awesome!
Ohhh just one more week! You'll do great, Meghan! I'm glad to be able to bring a smile to your face. I hope this next week leading up to your exam is met with more confidence and peace than you had ever felt. You can do this!!
Thank you!! That is my focus --- to feel confident and not to dwell on previous practice tests/scores/other peoples negativity! I'm actually much more relaxed now than I was a few weeks ago - trying to ride that feeling out :) Using your positive talk to get me through - "I am strong. I am smart. I will pass!"
Thank you, Kyla! I appreciate your feedback so much as it helps me to continue my work and deliver the content that is valuable and meaningful for you and our community. Your support and love means a lot to me!! Sending hugs and hearts your way. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your videos they are so helpful and they have helped me pass my NBCOT. I just found out I passed on the first try! Definitely keep up the good work♥️
Congratulations Shantra! You must be elated!! I hope you'll always remember this feeling of celebration and look back to it fondly for strength through the many transitions of your OT career and growth. You are about to embark on an incredible career and I'm excited to witness your continued success as we share our journey together. I wish you only the best and will hope to meet you one day!! If you'd like a sample resume, cover letter or FAQs for job interviews to help you get started, you can check out www.otmiri.com/career-guide/. But for now, celebrate and enjoy a little break! You deserve it!
You are amazing! Thank you so much for creating this video. It was super helpful. I appreciate how thorough you were. The pictures you drew and the images of the compression garments were great!
I'm so appreciative of your videos and all the hard work you put into them! They have helped me SO much in my studies! I take the NBCOT next Friday! Thank you for your help and support! 😄
Thank you for taking a moment to connect with me and leave your feedback, Holli! It means a lot to me and I'm happy to know you're finding these videos helpful. My heart sings and implodes with joy knowing that we are connected in our shared journey towards a common passion and occupation. Good luck with your exam. You will not only pass and realize your own dream, but go on to do help others actualize their potential. What an exciting time!!
That is so sweet of you to remember it was today! That really means a lot! Man, the test was tough! Barely finished on time. But so glad it's over! And thank you again for all your support. I still plan on watching all your new videos even if I do pass 😄 you're awesome and such a great role model for our OT community! 💖
YEEEEES!!!! Let the celebration begin!! Thank you for thinking of me and coming back here to share the news Holli! I'm elated to hear the news and had a great feeling that you would pass!

You're very welcome, Serena. Thank you for leaving me your kind feedback. I try very hard to be thorough while making the content not so overwhelming, so your feedback means a lot to me. Thank you!!
Thank you Miri for posting this and all your other videos. I take my exam Thursday and I'm extremely nervous!!! As a visual learner these have helped me break down and grasp a better understanding of these concepts. Have a great day!! :)
Thank you for sharing, Angela! I can vividly and tangibly remember what I felt during the days leading up to the exam and I understand how anxiety-provoking it can be! But I hope you'll spend these next couple of days remembering how far you've already come and accomplished- you are more than ready and capable to pass this exam!
Thank you Miri! You are absolutely amazing! I’m preparing for my NBCOT test as OTA and your videos are extremely helpful! (And I’m not a big fan of video learning)
Miri! Do you have merch by any chance? I ask because I feel like I would 100% drop $15-20 on a well designed “Axilla Airlines” tee shirt just so I could wear it to the next AOTA conference 😂 that was the best thing I’ve ever heard! I’ve been so frightened about this exam that my anxiety has basically caused me to freeze. I’ve been so afraid it’s “too late to study” that every time I try, I spend more time stressing than actually studying! Your videos are the first resource I’ve found that’s allowed me to drop my guard and actually absorb some material, probably because I’m able to keep my hands busy with laundry or dishes while watching. I even feel better knowing I’ve got some kind of plan if I do fail the test in a few days because all the expensive books and prep tools had not done nearly as much for me as your channel has in the last few hours. Thank you!!
oh Kelly, what a sweet, thoughtful and heartwarming message! The thought of anyone wearing a shirt that says, "Axilla Airlines" made me chuckle and put a big smile on my face. Thank you for being here to share your journey with me. I'm so happy to know I can accompany you in the kitchen while you're doing the dishes or when you're doing the laundry and help make this journey less stressful for you. Thank you for all your love and kind words. I hope you'll continue to find yourself growing in confidence as you approach your exam day. Do not fear my friend. This test is a man-made test and there is nothing on there you cannot master. You will go on to achieve so much more than merely passing this exam! Sending love and big hug!
@@MiriLee I had to come back to tell you that even though scores were delayed for a bit by COVID-19, I PASSED THE TEST!!!! I was very nervous waiting for my score because I felt pretty okay but I didn't have absolute confidence and of course the whole country seemed to shut down just a few days after my test day. I'm so glad I got it done in time! Thank you again for helping me as I prepared for the test!! I know you mentioned in videos having lived in California, I'm not sure if you're still there now, but wherever you and baby Noah and your whole family are, I hope you all are staying safe together. Thank you so much once again. Your videos 100% made all the difference for me!
Hi miri!!! First of all- thanks a lot!!!!! You are such an inspiring with your amazing explanations, strategies and smiling during all the videos!!!!you are a star in the Israeli OT students community which going to the test in this Thursday!!! There are couple of things we were wondering about: 1. In Which position will we put someone with an anterior hip burn? Will he be on his abdomen? And in generally- we read somewhere that for preventing deformations on the knee joint the person should be located with a weight over him? Is this the only way to prevent that?? 2. About Tennis and Golfer's elbow- is the splint should be on a full elbow extension? And what about the wrist? should we consider it also in the splint??? Thanks a lot !!!!!! And many hugs from the Israeli OT students that you just saved!!!
Hi Shani!! Thank you so much for your message and kind words! How wonderful is it that we can be connected through our shared OT journey from thousands of miles apart? Your message truly brought light to my day and a huge smile to my face! I only wish I could have seen/responded to your message prior to your exam. I'm not sure if you watched my latest announcement, but I am currently taking a short break due to my high risk pregnancy and haven't been as active on this channel. But I miss our community so much and am counting the days till I can come back full force! I hope the days post your exam is met with peace and calm. My best wishes to you and all the OT students and new grads in Israel!! Please send them my hugs, love and well wishes!
OT Miri Hi miri! I was just responding to you on the FB. After I wrote you my friends told me about your last video. I'm hoping your pregnancy will go safe, you deserve it so much! The test went well I think, but when the scores will arrive I'll let you know!! Thank you again!!!! ♥️♥️
awww, thank you my friend! I will be keeping you posted on the progress of my pregnancy. And yes, please you keep me posted as well! I hope we'll always stay in touch and connected!
please keep making videos I learned so much just watching your videos than i did at school. Can you give examples of a possible case scenario? i think it will be helpful in the future.
Good evening chief, am Ovuru Baron from Bayelsa state Nigeria, am OTA I want to know does OT fabricate orthotics and prosthetics as One of the work specification s
OT Miri would you please be able to do a video on amputations please? More specifically intervention-wise. Thank you in advance if you have time to do so!
Hello just letting you know I do not see the "Emergent (Survival)" chart posted in the study guide section. Will you be able to add that to the notes. I copied most of the chart via hand but there is still a part I am missing. Thank you!
Hi Stephanie! I have added the rehabilitation portion of the study guide on the website so you should be able to review that now. Thank you for being here and studying with me, Stephanie! Have a great rest of your day.
This is great, thank you! Can you please do a video on interview skills and what we should expect when going into an interview for a job in occupational therapy. (Types of questions that will be asked) The job market is becoming very tight and a little over saturated in certain areas of the country. I think we can all benefit from a video on how to properly master an interview. @OTmiri Thank you 😊
Hi Macy! Have you checked the Career Guide on the OT Miri website? It has a sample OT resume, cover letter and job interview FAQs and answers and much more! I do plan on doing a video on this one day, but for now, go on over to the website and check out the job interview section. It'll give you a strong starting point: www.otmiri.com/career-guide/
I remember xeno by the xenomorph from the movie Alien lol. Love the combination of visuals and edits; watching these fantastic videos is giving me more confidence as I study for my COTA exam!

You are a life saver! I wish you were my professor in college :') You seem so nice and learning seems so fun with you!
Thank you, Yanna. I am grateful for our shared journey here. Thank you for being here!
Thank you so much for all of your videos! I have been watching them as part of my study strategy for the NBCOT exam!!
Stella has my heart.
❤️❤️❤️
thank you for being so thoughtful and thorough with these videos :)
You're very welcome, Serena. Thank you for leaving me your kind feedback. I try very hard to be thorough while making the content not so overwhelming, so your feedback means a lot to me. Thank you!!
Amazing breakdown of material and I love the drawings!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Polly! Thanks for studying with me :D
Thank you Miri for posting this and all your other videos. I take my exam Thursday and I'm extremely nervous!!! As a visual learner these have helped me break down and grasp a better understanding of these concepts. Have a great day!! :)
Thank you for sharing, Angela! I can vividly and tangibly remember what I felt during the days leading up to the exam and I understand how anxiety-provoking it can be! But I hope you'll spend these next couple of days remembering how far you've already come and accomplished- you are more than ready and capable to pass this exam!
Thank you Miri, You are the best.
Thank you for being here. ❤️
I love Stella! ♥️ thank you for helping me understand burns
A friend of Stella is a friend of mine! Thank you for sending your love and leaving your note.
You are the best Miri,keep it up
Thank you Miri! You are absolutely amazing! I’m preparing for my NBCOT test as OTA and your videos are extremely helpful! (And I’m not a big fan of video learning)
Thank you so much for studying with me! I'm so happy to know that you're enjoying my videos and finding them helpful!
Thank you for the helpful videos! It would be great to go over scar massage, lubrication, and stretching more in depth
Miri! Do you have merch by any chance? I ask because I feel like I would 100% drop $15-20 on a well designed “Axilla Airlines” tee shirt just so I could wear it to the next AOTA conference 😂 that was the best thing I’ve ever heard! I’ve been so frightened about this exam that my anxiety has basically caused me to freeze. I’ve been so afraid it’s “too late to study” that every time I try, I spend more time stressing than actually studying! Your videos are the first resource I’ve found that’s allowed me to drop my guard and actually absorb some material, probably because I’m able to keep my hands busy with laundry or dishes while watching. I even feel better knowing I’ve got some kind of plan if I do fail the test in a few days because all the expensive books and prep tools had not done nearly as much for me as your channel has in the last few hours. Thank you!!
oh Kelly, what a sweet, thoughtful and heartwarming message! The thought of anyone wearing a shirt that says, "Axilla Airlines" made me chuckle and put a big smile on my face. Thank you for being here to share your journey with me. I'm so happy to know I can accompany you in the kitchen while you're doing the dishes or when you're doing the laundry and help make this journey less stressful for you. Thank you for all your love and kind words. I hope you'll continue to find yourself growing in confidence as you approach your exam day. Do not fear my friend. This test is a man-made test and there is nothing on there you cannot master. You will go on to achieve so much more than merely passing this exam! Sending love and big hug!
@@MiriLee I had to come back to tell you that even though scores were delayed for a bit by COVID-19, I PASSED THE TEST!!!! I was very nervous waiting for my score because I felt pretty okay but I didn't have absolute confidence and of course the whole country seemed to shut down just a few days after my test day. I'm so glad I got it done in time! Thank you again for helping me as I prepared for the test!! I know you mentioned in videos having lived in California, I'm not sure if you're still there now, but wherever you and baby Noah and your whole family are, I hope you all are staying safe together. Thank you so much once again. Your videos 100% made all the difference for me!
Hi miri!!!
First of all- thanks a lot!!!!! You are such an inspiring with your amazing explanations, strategies and smiling during all the videos!!!!you are a star in the Israeli OT students community which going to the test in this Thursday!!! There are couple of things we were wondering about:
1. In Which position will we put someone with an anterior hip burn? Will he be on his abdomen? And in generally- we read somewhere that for preventing deformations on the knee joint the person should be located with a weight over him? Is this the only way to prevent that??
2. About Tennis and Golfer's elbow- is the splint should be on a full elbow extension? And what about the wrist? should we consider it also in the splint???
Thanks a lot !!!!!! And many hugs from the Israeli OT students that you just saved!!!
Hi Shani!! Thank you so much for your message and kind words! How wonderful is it that we can be connected through our shared OT journey from thousands of miles apart? Your message truly brought light to my day and a huge smile to my face! I only wish I could have seen/responded to your message prior to your exam. I'm not sure if you watched my latest announcement, but I am currently taking a short break due to my high risk pregnancy and haven't been as active on this channel. But I miss our community so much and am counting the days till I can come back full force! I hope the days post your exam is met with peace and calm. My best wishes to you and all the OT students and new grads in Israel!! Please send them my hugs, love and well wishes!
OT Miri
Hi miri! I was just responding to you on the FB. After I wrote you my friends told me about your last video. I'm hoping your pregnancy will go safe, you deserve it so much! The test went well I think, but when the scores will arrive I'll let you know!! Thank you again!!!! ♥️♥️
awww, thank you my friend! I will be keeping you posted on the progress of my pregnancy. And yes, please you keep me posted as well! I hope we'll always stay in touch and connected!

Ellen Shiraef My pleasure, Ellen! Thank you for spending this afternoon studying with me! 💕💕
Hello just letting you know I do not see the "Emergent (Survival)" chart posted in the study guide section.
Will you be able to add that to the notes. I copied most of the chart via hand but there is still a part I am missing. Thank you!
Hi Stephanie! I have added the rehabilitation portion of the study guide on the website so you should be able to review that now. Thank you for being here and studying with me, Stephanie! Have a great rest of your day.
This is great, thank you!
Can you please do a video on interview skills and what we should expect when going into an interview for a job in occupational therapy. (Types of questions that will be asked) The job market is becoming very tight and a little over saturated in certain areas of the country. I think we can all benefit from a video on how to properly master an interview.
@OTmiri
Thank you 😊
