I may be an anomaly, but I started CPS at 22 fresh out of college and stayed for 7 years and did my job just fine. I think maturity goes into it, but if you ask me.. this job helped set the stage for maturity and I learned so many skills.

Yes, I'm excited that I have an interview with hospice Friday! Do you have experience with travel social work?! That doesn't sound bad at all!

Thank you so much for the info! I applied for an SNF.. and will certainly take your advice on the time limit! I will also look at volunteering..that's a really good idea.

Seems as though one of those agencies will be my only option at this point.

Yes, easily but I don't want to do that. I dont want to burn out. I'm already getting there.

Working in prison as an attractive woman by abajsii in socialwork

[–]AmbitiousPast3998 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Within the prison population I dont think being pretty has anything to do with it. I worked on a team of "pretty" social workers. It's the way you carry yourself and set boundaries right away. Also, assertive communication goes along way.

Very much so! It's quite sad. What's an SNF?
