PT and OT Licensing Info. for New Hampshire Explore Travel Jobs

Once you've submitted a complete licensure application to the New Hampshire State Board, you can expect:

• OT:  There's no set timeframe for receiving your occupational therapy license in New Hampshire. Once licensure applications have been reviewed for completeness, they're ratified at monthly board meetings.
• PT: It typically takes between 1 and 10 weeks to receive your physical therapy license in New Hampshire. This is slow compared to other physical therapy licenses across the United States.

The average cost of living in New Hampshire is about on par with the average for the United States as a whole, but individual cities may be more affordable than others — for example, cities located closer to or on the coast are generally a bit more expensive to live in compared to more rural inland areas. Salaries in New Hampshire for occupational and physical therapists are about average and on par with other states in New England, including Massachusetts and Vermont.

New Hampshire is one of the most scenic places in the United States, so it's no wonder PTs and OTs are drawn to this state — whether you prefer rolling ocean waves and sandy coastline, quaint New England towns or majestic mountains, you can find plenty of places to live and work.
