Are you getting your CDCA? I just applied for it. Crossing my fingers I'll get it because of my licensure issues with the Board of Nursing in Ohio.
I'm going for my CATC through CAADE, it's specific to California. I need 2240 hours of which I have about 1035. I received my certificate of achievement and have a CATC-i currently. I worked for a year with an organization specializing in in-house treatment for juveniles. Good luck danibanani!!
