Questions for Students seeking
internships.
Do I need to have an account to
view the Directory?
No, simply click on "Search the database" to view sites with
internships.
How can I determine the quality of internship sites?
You can't determine quality just by viewing this database. First you
need to make sure that your supervisor is certified by the North
Carolina Board of Recreational Therapy Licensure and the National
Council for TR Certification. The "LRT/CTRS" designation is used by
individuals who hold both the North Carolina license and national
professional certification. It may be helpful to review a description
of the responsibilities and agency expectations of the intern. You may
also ask the agency supervisor for names of past students whom you can
call to talk with about their internship
experiences.
Can I search with a narrow criteria?
YES, you can conduct searches based
on multiple criterias. For example, if you are looking to work in
Wilson,
in a psychiatric facility and for adolescents... you simply input those
criteria
and if there are such listings, the database will
find it for you. Of course, while the database is small with few
listings,
you should use a broader search.
IMPORTANT. Students, it is your
responsibility to make sure that the person you do your TR internship
with is licensed as a LRT (state) and certified as a CTRS (national)
!!!!
Questions for LRT/CTRSs posting
Internship Sites.
How do I add my site to the database?
You first need to create an account. Click on the "Create an
Account" link and enter a unique user ID and a
password that you can remember. Once you have created an account,
you then
re-enter your user ID and password to enter the database.
Simply
click on add once in the database.
How much does it cost to open an
account?
Nothing! It's free.
Why do I need an account?
Having an account permit you to add your internship information to the
Directory. You can also modify your record
or delete it at another time. Without an account, you cannot add,
modify, nor delete information.
What kind of password should I use?
I suggest something simple that you
can remember... the last 4 digits of your SS #.
What if I forget my password?
Remember that passwords and USER ID's are case sensitive. NCRTA is not
the same as ncrta. If you still can't get your password-user ID combo
to work, Email password @ ncrta.org with your old user ID (or new one)
and a NEW password.
