So I've seen a huge thread for nurses! There seem to be alot- which is great they are needed(yay)!

I am curious as to how many human service workers we have here-- I've read some posts and the replies seem very therapeutic/techniquey lol

So-- I will be graduating w my master of science in mental health counseling in June and will finish all my hours in sept!!! I take the NCE on Saturday!!!

Anyone else in this profession??

Mental Health Professional. 2 yrs supervision by an mhp and you get the mhp designation.

I have a master's in counseling as well. I focused on school counseling and was planning on doing the extra classes/internships in order to work on my LPC. I moved right after graduation though and the city I moved to didn't have anywhere for me to take those classes. That was 8 years ago. I have worked in social services in family preservation/reunification for many years though. Currently unemployed (by choice) in order to focus on traveling with my husband (he has a really flexible schedule). One day I hope to go back to counseling but even my school license is currently expired so I'll have to deal with that. For now, I'm loving not working!
