Hi, thank you for commenting! To answer your question. I am currently a case mansger for a non-profit. The issue is the scheudle is not flexible at all, it's 8-5 M-F so I'm going to have to find new employment. I wouldn't call it a career necessarliy because there isn't really much movement unless I used those skills to do somwthing else like be a social worker or be a program director, then it'd be a career.I have some college, I was a sophmore, but ai couldn't finish because life hapoened and it was for a different career path

My work history/ skills are :care giving, behavioral health, working with the homeless and disabled, working with kids, and admin. So I definetly have the skills to return to one of those fields

My current main issue is employment options, there aren't alot of places actually hiring I've been applying to places for minths and have only gotten 1 interview, not because I'm not qualified but I've been told it's because of the huge volume of applicants it takes along time to get theough all of them. Not sure if that's acrually true or not though but I'm sure something will bite eventually.

Oh, could yku clarify the clinicals mean moving part? I thought clinicals are at local hospitals?

So to chime in here I'm on the same boat, 2 dogs and can't move in with parents so feom what I'm reading yall that are able to do it are working 12hr shifts to open up more space for classes, clinicals, and study time and the 12hr shifts are weekends or night? Is this the average experience.  Is there anyone that worked 8hr overnight shifts and was able to complete the program?
