RN wants to become a substance abuse counselor...

[KristieRae71]

I have been a Registered Nurse for 13 years with an assoiciates degree. I am very interested in becoming a substance abuse counselor and would like to go back to school to get my BA in psychology. I am looking for any suggestions on this matter. I am considering using an online university but am a little nervous about that too! I am having a difficult time finding what Georgia's requirements are for their substance abuse counselors so if anyone has any info for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Love this site.

There is a posting site on allnurses.com for substance abuse nursing. That would be a better place for you to ask this question. I forget how I found it but I'm sure if you looked around in specialties or critical care specialties tab up at top you'll find it. Good luck!
