Hello everyone,
I have have been reading the newsletter for a few months.I am a nonworking RN (27:dimples:+ yrs) it has always been my dream to get a MS in Counseling or MFT.I am almost the big 50!! I keep telling myself it is too late I will be too old ( in class with 20 somethings).My hubby says do it!!! I do not need to work for $$$.I just feel I could help people. My brother suffers from schizophrenia so I have been inhaling books about his illness. I am thinking of Capella online(it is CACREP accredited) you have 2 residency sessions,and you do your supervised clinical hours and internships in your area. It is expensive but it is a dream I have had for a while.I can not go the traditional sit in a class all day route.I did my BS in Human Developement (online 2002) so I am familiar with online learning. Our Graduating MS Class had a lady who was 83 getting her MFT degree!!! What do you think? Is it worth all the hours of supervised clinicals? I love learning. What inspired you to become a Therapist? I love this forum.
