[HumanSer] Hospice workers who are blind

[Ericka Nelson]

Anyone work in hospice? Grief counselor? Just curious as to this is the road I will be traveling soon. In October I will start being a volunteer at Agrace, a well-known at home and inpatient hospice care center. I am so excited! My pastor sent them a letter of recommendation even. I will let people know how the training and subsequent volunteering goes.

I don’t know besides applying for scholarships how I’m going to pay the bills. Persons got to live and pay for school. I’m not working at this time and it’s not fair to have my husband pull the whole weight. Here in Wisconsin I saw that the National Association of Social Workers offered a training at their state convention this fall for people getting licensed. I didn’t pay much attention but I wonder if Georgia has this information to? If you move, some states give you some time to be certified in their state while you work.

>>> Does anyone have any accessible material to study for the lmsw?  I have been looking for jobs but most jobs need a car or license. Should i take the exam?  I have an msw and was wondering if anyone has any advice on finding jobs and taking the license exam. I want to move out of Georgia but I don’t have much money right now to move to a different state.
>>> There is a two day class on September 20 and 21. It is 375 dollars. They say that people that take this class has a high chance of passing the exam. I am not sure if I should spend that much. My vr counselor said that vr can not pay for it.
