I teach subtle body energy and care for self at a local massage college and hopefully will be offering CE's for massage therapist.
I'd like to invite massage therapists and holistic practitioners to be listed in my wellness directory..the basic listing is free.
Blessings,

Yes you can have more than one provisional. But you must submit separate provisional license applications, each signed by the sponsoring therapist. That way you can work provisionally for one therapist on certain days or at certain times and for the other therapist at different times. This would enable a recent graduate to work more. Just remember that the sponsoring therapist must be on the property and available for you to ask questions while you are doing the massage. Being in touch via cell phone is NOT good enough and could result in disciplinary action for you and the involved sponsoring therapist. Good luck!

Hi Laura,
Louisiana has their exam divided into two parts, a written exam covering pathology, a & p, massage, ethics, etc. (which can be either the MBLEX or the NCE) and an oral exam covering the Louisiana State Law. The oral exam is given on the last friday of every month (3rd Friday if a holiday conflicts with the last friday) at the board office in Baton Rouge. The Oral Exam consists of roughly 20 to 30 questions regarding requirements of the law - such as insurance coverage, renewal requirements, ceus, ethics, etc. It is designed to force the new therapist to familiarize themselves with the law in order to pass the exam - which, hopefully, keeps them out of trouble with the board in the future. When I was on the Board, the main problem that we had was therapists who renew their license too late and incurr late fees, fines, and penalties. If you need more specific answers, feel free to ask. Hope this helps!

Hey guys, I stumbled upon this site looking for some information about the Louisiana Oral Examination. I graduated and work in Texas, and we only have to take the MBLEx, etc. I was just curious if anyone could give me an idea of what the oral examination really pertains to.

Congrads Caitlin,

That's awesome news.

Re: License payment. Yeah, it's been that way for a while. Everything goes by postmark date for documentation. However, you can mail in the licensing fee of $125 with your $75 testing fee when you first make application for license. That way, when you pass the oral exam, your license is put in the mail ASAP.

Congrats to anyone who took the state licensing exam last Friday! I passed! One step closer to being in business. A note, you can no longer pay for your license while you are at the board office, they require you to mail it in.
