You sound like my husband. My husband is a LPCC and LADC, and so he is licensed in numerous states. I just passed my Masters ASWB exam today. 🎉 I plan on being like you. This is a wise move. Great video. ❤
They do but it requires a different exam than the one I took. I took the Masters Level exam and the Advanced Generalist Exam is what Michigan requires. I’d have to apply for the limited license then go there and work 4,000 hours. After that I can apply to sit for that exam.
Ohhh now I remember. Yea it’s called the LMSW but it’s not the same. Michigan wants a different exam. My multiple LMSWs wouldn’t be endorsed there unless I took the clinical or advanced generalist exams
@@TassyMaee365 that’s awesome !! Good luck in your endeavors . I’m just starting the journey of travel social worker and exploring options . Just spoke to one agency so far. So excited for you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Hello, hope all is well. Thank you for this information. I'm currently a LCSW in NJ. I'm having a difficult time finding the right link to the NY, PA, DC, Arizona, Texas and Atlanta application. Are there any resources or links you can provide?
Hey! I don’t have any links or resources for those applications. I just typed board of social work for each states into google and went from there.PA and AZ were quick with approving. Everybody else took months. Sorry I can’t give a better response!
hi. I've been watching your videos a lot. I have my LMSW in NY and I am doing psychotherapy but I want to transition medical social work. most importantly I want to be licensed in different states. FL, CT, and TX. what are the exams or test like for these to states bc I can't find it. im only seeing information for people who don't have a license yet. thanks
Hey babe! So, if you have an LMSW you can apply for a licensed in TX and CT. You will need to follow all of their requirements on their board of social work examiners website (transcripts, ASWB scores, license verification, etc.) In order to be licensed in Florida you will need an LCSW. So the clinical exam and all of the supervision hours. Hope this helps!
hey Im from NY haven't yet graduated but NJ lets you take the test . Is there any other reason why you didn't get NJ? I tried to sign up but they asked for an address. Also you mentioned fingerprints? Do they all required fingerprints or just Jersey.
Hi! I am a LSW in IL and seeking to relocate. I am concerned about seeking licensure reciprocity from another state because IL dropped the exam requirement for getting the LSW, so I never took the exam/do not have any ASWB scores. Do you happen to know what happens in a case like mine? Can I still apply to a state like TX for example without my ASWB scores even though I am licensed? Thank you for any help!!
Hey friend! Oooo that's tricky, but considering you have to send your score directly from ASWB to TX I don't think they would allow it. I recommend calling the board and asking.
So I want to look into starting travel sw right after grad school. But i'm in GA and the wait for licensure is about 2-4 months after graduation, would it be possible for me to get opportunities before then? Is it necessary to get licensed in my home state first or could I look into the states that are available at the agencies and apply for licensure there?
You can get licensed where ever you want. As long as you’ve passed the ASWB exam and the state accepts LMSW. There are positions you can get without a license but you’ll need some experience. When COVID was popping states were lenient about the license, but now most states want you to come with license in hand.
Hey hey fellow lmsw here. Currently in the process of transitioning out of my current position working outpatient at dialysis facility to the travel life. I have a potential contract with providence in anchorage and am curious about the licensing process with Alaska. Did you get a permanent license or did you get a temp ? Also I see that they require 3 professional references from which is fine, but they want one from a current employer as well which I feel like will cause conflict while I am still working here. Lastly, I would love to connect further and ask some questions if that is possible it would be super appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hey! Feel free to email me at satasade@thetravelsocialworkbabe.com I didn’t get the license for Alaska. Prov is a nice hospital! That’s where I was! Great area! Miss anchorage so much! For the references 😬 you’d just have to ask…
Hello! Thank you soo much for this video! I took and passed my LMSW and would like to be licensed in multiple states as well given that my family is military. I do have a question regarding the clinical hours we have to have for our LCSW. How does that work? Do you simply choose one state to get the hours from? Or are the hours not state specific ? (Not sure if that made sense) but my goal is to be an LCSW after attaining those clinical hours. Thank you again for all you do! 💛
Hey!! Congrats on passing!!! Woot woot!! I cannot answer any questions regarding LCSW because I do not have the license and I’m not working toward it! Sorry!
SC is my home state so I didn’t mention it but I know I had to pass the ASWB exam and send transcripts. I don’t remember much sorry! It’s been 6 years, but you can check llr.sc.gov for the info!
@@KitaMarieH Welcome! I wish I was licensed in Michigan! I’m born and raised there but moved to SC in 2015. Are you LLMSW or do you have the full license?
Ahh okay! I have my full clinical license here. I've been fully licensed for a year now and work in private practice. I love clinical work but I also enjoy doing other things within the field of SW and have experience in other areas like non profit, case management, SA/DV advocate, and school social work. So I'm not quite sure yet what area of work I would like to do once I make the move. I want to weigh out all my options.
