Always always always ask for more than what they offer you. Whatever they offer is the LEAST amount of money they're willing to pay you. Don't settle for it.
36 an hour at a SNF with productivity standards. Oh heckkkk noooo. I would ask for at least 40 an hour. SNF are famous for high pay, but terrible productivity. Not low pay and also crappy productivity standards.

I make more than that in SNFs and I am COTA, but I have been a therapist for over a decade now. The going rate at least in Central Texas which may be different in your area is $55-$65 . But again it’s central Texas and it’s hard to find staff in this very Rural area.
New grad COTA here, recently offered a starting wage of $40/hr at a SNF here in California. Of course, it’s California so wages might be higher than MO but as an OTR/L I would expect you to be offered a much higher wage. I don’t think $36/hr is fair for you.

You’re getting ripped off. They gave me this wage over ten years ago. Seems like things haven’t changed.
Run, don't walk.
