Guest Pam Golden Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I would like more information regarding certification. I am a licensed Texas social worker and practiced as an activity director/social worker early in my career. I became involved in a different aspect of social work and have not followed the activity director path. I have recently relocated to the Houston area, and looking for employment. I have personal experience caring for both my mother and father in law, also have hospice experience, and would like to know what the market is for such a career. Can one update me on the current certification process and whether or not it is a field to pursue. Also, with the changes in the activity director certification, has there been changes in the social work field of nursing homes, and where would I go to get those updates for training? Thank you and I look forward to your responses. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tinki Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Pam, The current process on certification in Texas is the basic course (90 hours of classtime and 90 hours in a volunteer fieldwork). Then you take the Advanced course, after that you can sit for the state exam. I have had students from social work background and are currently working as AD's. There is a current job opening at Epoch Assisted Living if you are interested. We are starting a course in the Fall if you are interested e-mail me at k8822@hotmail.com Karen :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
