By shocked sw on Friday, January 09, 2009 - 01:38 pm: Edit PostCarolyn, you give me hope! I'm entering the third year of my program and it's good to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel (and it's not a train!)
Enjoy those three letters, and grin away :-)
By Loritta Charles on Monday, January 12, 2009 - 05:19 am: Edit PostCongratulations Carolyn! You are an inspiration to other non-traditional students, such as myself!
By Betsykorst (Unregistered Guest) on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 06:56 am: Edit PostI just wanted to post that, after years of wondering if I should pursue an MSW, I just finished my first year of graduate school at the age of 52! I am in a part time program, so only 3 more years to go! Well, better late than never, Betsy
By Linda Grobman on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 03:40 pm: Edit PostIt's never too late! Congrats, Betsy.
By Loritta Charles on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 04:42 am: Edit PostI second Linda's post. Congrats Betsy!
By Gary B on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 05:00 am: Edit PostI am 57. I teach in a small BSW program. In the last 5 years we've graduated 7 new BSWS who were in their 50s. Three have, or are going on for their masters. I am honored every day by my association with these fine professionals. The each overcame much more in earning their degrees than I ever even imagined.
Congratulations Betsy, you've chosen a wonderfull valuable mission.

By Kathryn Rosen-Enzmann on Saturday, September 05, 2009 - 08:50 am: Edit PostDoes anyone know where I can download or view a copy of the DSM-IV-TR online? My professor assigned a reading from it (Appendix I) and said we could get it online but the site he mentioned charges a subscription fee that is too expensive and I can't find anything else. I am in my final semester at Fordham's Graduate School of Social Service and have not purchased a copy yet. Thank you!
By Kathryn Rosen-Enzmann on Saturday, September 05, 2009 - 11:38 am: Edit PostHello Betsy, I just read your post and wanted to tell you that I went back to get my undergrad degree at the age of 51 (but I told everyone I was 50 - I don't kinow why). Now, I am finishing up my graduate studies and will be finished in
December, 2009. I am 57, feel great and am looking forward to great things! Hang in there and be encouraged.
By Linda Grobman on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 01:53 am: Edit PostKathryn,
Is there a copy of the DSM in your school's library? Or if you are in field placement, there might be a copy at your field agency. I believe you can get short term (24 hrs.) access to the online version for $35.
Linda
By Tom Horn on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 04:23 pm: Edit PostI would hold off making a purchase of the DSM IV-TR because the DSM V is due out in 3-6 months which will render your investment in the DSM IV obsolete.

By Gary B on Saturday, September 12, 2009 - 09:12 am: Edit PostAnd I would suggest that in class you politely raise your hand, and when called upon, tell your instructor what you've learned here.
By Betsykorst (Unregistered Guest) on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - 09:42 am: Edit PostHi Kathryn, thanks for your kind words of encouragement. Actually, I am taking this year off due to financial difficulties. (husband was laid off)and also a few other issues. I am hoping to continue my studies next year. It's so great to hear from other non-traditional students. What kind of social work do you want to do? Betsy
