I am so proud of you!! I've been watching you for a few weeks, I just started my associates in Human Services with the goal of getting into a BSW and then MSW program. You have been my top person to watch. Its been lovely watching you experience this journey! YOU did this!! Congratulations Anna!!

[@AnnaBea]

thank you so much, Ana!! this comment made me tear a little in the best way 🥹🥹

[@mekasmith3464]

Congratulations!!!! 🎉 you made me tear up when you saw that you passed. I'm nervous; I'm 30 days away from exam day. This would be my second time taking the test but I'm much more ready than I was the first time. I love your video...I may do the same. Thank you for sharing your experience!!!🎉🎉

[@AnnaBea]

I hope your test went well!! thank you for your kind words 💗

[@taylorclark4159]

Coming back to this video to remind me how to start tackling studying for my APSW exam!!! T-5 weeks:)))

[@AnnaBea]

AHHH you've got this!!!! and welcome back to this video. october 2022 anna says hi

[@xDanacon]

Congratulations, Anna!! Passing the LMSW exam is such an amazing feeling. You worked so hard for this success. I remember I was so nervous that I almost threw up in the parking lot of the testing center LOL So impressed how calm and cool you were!

[@AnnaBea]

thank you!! I was shaking so much on the walk back to the car 😅😅 I think I didn’t realize quite how stressed I was until it all released when I saw that result. Thank you for your support 💗💗💗

[@katherinevalentin3438]

I took mine yesterday and I passed too in Colorado. I was nervous to see the results too but very happy. Definitely a moment to celebrate!!

[@Stormy_Dawn]

Ok I'm an emotional wreck apparently. LOL. I totally started tearing up before you even had time to turn it around to see your results. CONGRATS!!!

[@AnnaBea]

ahh thank you for feeling it with me 💗💗

[@veronicagaray4545]

Congratulations Anna! It must be such a special and memorable moment for you right now!. I can only imagine all the hard work you had to put in order to pass your exam!. I hope to follow in your footsteps one day as a social worker too!

[@AnnaBea]

I’m back watching this vid myself bc it is such a special memory 🤣💗 thank you for your kind words!! you’ve got it on your journey 🎉🎉 I feel like I was JUST deciding to major in social work & blinked and made it here somehow 😂 I hope you’re having a great day today :)

[@linacarol7344]

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you. I am pursuing my MSW, and it is my first semester and my first experience as an intern. I have mixed feelings about being an SW.

[@thiefofjoy]

Hi Lina! I just happened to read your comment and wanted to stop by to say that I feel like it’s normal to have mixed feelings about being a SW. I just started my social work series and I talk about how I went into my MSW program having a goal in mind regarding what I wanted to do.. but then totally disregarding that and taking a different path. The thing about the field is that there are lots of options! Just remember why you wanted to pursue SW to begin with. Best of luck!

[@Meghanism5000]

Congratulations! Made me wanna cry too! 😊I’m heading into my senior year internship for my BSW this fall. I just found your channel and so glad I did! Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@DeboraLMartinez]

I’m crying with you congratulations.🎉😂 I will cry to when I take the exam

[@DeboraLMartinez]

[@maramarlow3990]

I am on my way to taking mine in the middle of August and am very nervous. I feel really overwhelmed when I study like I am already going to fail but you were calming when you talked about it!

@@AnnaBea hi Anna please call me jackie i keep thinking i did something and you are upset with me, lol i don't think you remember i told you so many times that you have been such an inspiration in this field but I also had to change my degree. B/c they were showing me no emapthay as a veteran it has been the first time in my life that i wish i would have return from war with missing limbs bc then you can and would see my disabilitieas. My point is that my are unseen disabilities but when i sit with you and i tell you what i am going thru and the type of help i may need then they no longer are unseen to the instructors lol boy Anna i have given you a book here but yet then again you might not have to go the library to pick up a book this week bc i have been kind and sent you one lol. now i am persueing a Masters in Counseling and is all online and i just remember while you were in grad school doing so good with your online work, i am going to Southern New Hampshire University. sending you love and lite keep it real missy and i think you are outstanding, this 55 yr young femaleI have learned so much from you.

[@crib_company2691]

Congratulations on passing the exam! What if you only get your bsw? Can you be a licensed sw? Or is this only if you go through the msw program.? Did you have financial aid or did you go through loans? What jobs can you get with just a bsw?

[@cindymarzett]

Thank you. Great information

[@AnnaBea]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AnnaBea]

thank you!!

[@tiffanychildwithin]

Congrats! You are so much fun to follow! I just started a mental health counseling program, but have some experience in case management where all my coworkers were MSW's. Are you now able to do therapy independently? Or do you need to accumulate more hours over several years to do that?

[@AnnaBea]

thank you so much for your kind words & support 💗💗 with this level license, I still need supervision for clinical work so it doesn’t change too much at my current job but is a stepping stone to a future independent license & opens more job opportunities outside of my current one in the future 🎉

[@katherinevalentin3438]

Do they use the exam picture on the license? I did not like mine either lol.

[@AnnaBea]

to be honest I didn't order a physical copy of my license so I don't know!! I just have my online version and it does not have a picture on it -- so there is hope lol

[@hannahbridger8797]

Thank you so much for your time and effort making this video. It truly helped me so much as I just finished the pre approval process and am beginning the study process. Congratulations and I wish you ever happiness in your social work journey. Anna Bea, LICENSEDMSW!💕

AHHH thank you so much!! good luck to you 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@Coles929]

Congratulations!! Did you write any acronyms on your whiteboard?

[@AnnaBea]

thank you!! & I wrote half of one but then couldn’t remember the rest so didn’t actually use it 😅😅 I only really studied those a day before so didn’t rely on them too much. Savvy Social Worker’s breakdown videos were the approach I used for most questions!

[@rosieluboya1505]

Can you go into debt on your study plans before taking the exam?

[@AnnaBea]

I took this god awful exam 3x and failed . Studied my head off and still failed. Majority questions put you in a position to guess instead of testing your knowledge. I hate this shit test with a passion
