<p>So I've started my own practice and I have no earthly clue what I need to do to make sure all of the legal stuff is done. Is there a useful resource online for louisiana therapists? Or do any of you have some insight? I'm not an llc yet but I think I'm going to do that. I keep track of all my spending but that doesn't really help anything when I don't know what to do with the records.

<p>So I've started my own practice and I have no earthly clue what I need to do to make sure all of the legal stuff is done. Is there a useful resource online for louisiana therapists? Or do any of you have some insight? I'm not an llc yet but I think I'm going to do that. I keep track of all my spending but that doesn't really help anything when I don't know what to do with the records. I have a business bank account and keep track of all clients and client payments but once again what am I doing with this information?? I've been told I should hire an accountant but how much does that cost and who should I go to?</p>
<p>So any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys!</p>

<p>This class is designed to increase your knowledge regarding the effects of trauma/chronic stress in your practice, with your family or as a self care model. Learn how secondary trauma affects those dealing with trauma and abuse with others. Learn how “triggers” affect a person after the event or trauma is over and how to release them, replacing fear motivated behavior with a sense of calm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When someone experiences emotional or physical trauma, illness, , surgery, suppressed or negative feelings, this causes “energy blocks” in the body, affecting our health and well being. Dr Norm Shealy states-”all psychological/emotional problems are based in anger, guilt, anxiety or from past traumas; even slight traumas in our past can have devastating consequences.”</p>
<h1><span class="font-size-2"><strong> Mind, Body Self-Care Strategies- March 10, 2013</strong></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: left;"><span class="font-size-2"><strong> This class is especially designed to help you escape from the stress of life, and discover an inner world of calm, peace & joy.

<p>To Everyone Listing CE Classes in this Group.<br/> <br/>
Please be aware that the Louisiana Board of Massage has <strong>very specific requirements</strong> in the law on posting ads in regard to continuing education classes.</p>
<p><br/> It doesn't matter if you are "nationally approved" by NCBTMB or some other organization. Your post (and all other ads, whether printed or electronic) must bear one of two statements:<br/>
<br/>
1. "Approved by the Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy for a maximum of ____ hours CEUs". <br/>
<br/>
2. "Not offered for Louisiana State Board of Massage Therapy CEUs".<br/>
<br/>
No other statement regarding Louisiana CEU approval may<br />
be made in advertising, promotional and/or other materials,<br />
included but not limited to, a statement that an application<br />
has been to the board for approval or that the provider<br />
intends to apply for approval. <br/>
<br/>
Violation may result in a $1000.00 fine plus the CE provider may be denied approval of future CE classes for 2 full years.<br/>
<br/>
SO if you are going to post a listing for a class that is not LA board approved, just make sure it includes statement #2 above. Therapists can still take the class for national requirements or just for their own edification.<br/>
<br/>
If you are going to post a class that is approved for LA CE - you must apply and then wait until you have your approval letter for the class in your hand before you post an ad and make sure to include statement #1 in your post.<br/>
<br/>
Just trying to keep everyone honest and out of trouble...<br/>

<p>There seems to be a lot of confusion out there as to what a provisional license is and how to apply for one. In Louisiana, a provisional license is a <strong>temporary</strong> license granted to a recent massage school graduate who agrees to work under the supervision of a licensed therapist until they complete their national and state board exams.

<p>There seems to be a lot of confusion out there as to what a provisional license is and how to apply for one. In Louisiana, a provisional license is a <strong>temporary</strong> license granted to a recent massage school graduate who agrees to work under the supervision of a licensed therapist until they complete their national and state board exams. This allows the therapist to quickly enter the workforce without a lengthy wait for testing. Here is what you need to know:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You do NOT have to pass the NCE or MBLEX to get the provisional license - but it is good only for a few months to give you time to take and pass the exams. Here's what you need to do:</p>
<p>1. Find a therapist who agrees to supervise you for 3 or 4 months.</p>
<p>2. Apply for the provisional license. To apply for the provisional license, you must submit your Professional State License application and your provisional license application together to the state board. The fee for the professional application is $75 and the fee for the provisional is $25. The provisional must be signed by a therapist who is licensed and in good standing with the board. This supervising therapist agrees to supervise the provisionally licensed therapist and be on the premises at all times that the provisionally licensed therapist is working on a client. Basically, you will be working for this therapist or for the spa, company or service where they are employed. There is a blank on the application that asks for a date when you will take your state oral exam on the law - it is given on the last Friday of every month that does not conflict with a holiday. Fill in this blank with the date of the last Friday that is about 3 months away.</p>
<p>3. In the past the provisional license was usually received in less than a week. It may be faster now with the advent of the online applications through the state board website at <a href="http://www.labmt.org">www.labmt.org</a> - I personally have not witnessed the online provisional application process.</p>
<p>4. Begin practicing under the supervision of the sponsoring therapist.</p>
<p>5. Now apply for your MBLEX or NCE.</p>
<p>6. Take the MBLEX or NCE before the oral exam test date you have chosen. Keep the pass slip from your exam when you pass it.</p>
<p>7. Report for your LA State Oral Exam on the test date you have chosen, bring with you the pass slip from the written exam (MBLEX or NCE). Take the oral exam. Attached is a study guide we use at our school.</p>
<p>8. Pay the first year's licensing fee (now prorated for the remaining months in the current year).</p>
<p>9. Receive your professional license in the mail or online.</p>
<p>10. Begin practicing without any supervision.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Note: I am not an attorney and the above is simply my interpretation of the existing LA State Law and Rules and Regulations from my experience as a former Board Member. Opinions vary from board member to board member and it is best to check with the State Board Office about current interpretations.</p> CE workshoptag:massageprofessionals.com,2011-02-11:2887274:Topic:1351122011-02-11T20:02:33.974ZFrank Jhttps://massageprofessionals.com/profile/FrankJ
