Coursework & Fieldwork OT's in the NICU?

[sportschick21]

I have a question that maybe some of you already in OT school can answer for me! I start next fall, so I am not very familiar with clinicals or all of the different settings yet. I know the basic settings, but I was really interested to find out if there are many OT's who go into the NICU? One of my friends who is a nurse said that there are PT's, OT's, and Speech Pathologists in the NICU but I was curious to find out what they do exactly. The PT I work with said she did a clinical there while she was in school and they would rotate the babies after they were born and re-position them, etc. I am very interested so any advice helps
