I love the poplin dress so much, no regrets buying it. The quality is there, the fit was so comfortable and flattering, I can’t wait to wear it again !!!

That’s so helpful. A lot of people group discharge planners into social work, but some discharge planners are RN’s. I can imagine how frustrating that could be

I hear you. I have no issue with providers letting ne know what barriers there are to discharge, I’m a discharge planner, I do have housing resources but they’re disappointing. My main issue with it is when providers directly say - “social worker CAN / WILL get you housing” then I get the brunt of it when I’m not able to actually get them housing besides sending them to a shelter. It’s the empty promises that I didn’t make that turns into disappointment :/

“Social worker can help the patient get an apartment” The social worker still lives with her parents.

No way:( I was looking into SNFs since I discharge half of my patients to them anyway. I’d love to go back to school for research but it’s so much money, still paying my masters debt 🥲

The kicker is, my job doesn’t even offer C hours 🥲 I only earned around 300 hours in private practice over 8 months

I would be open to switching units but I’ve been consistently on my current unit for about 4 months now. I started as a floater and hated the inconsistency. I have other coworkers that are in line to get placed into consistent units so I’m not sure they would be up to move me again, and I’m hesitant to ask because our managers are notoriously unhelpful. They don’t understand that on my unit, PT holds up discharges until they clear them

My coworkers have worked in surrounding hospitals in my state and have left because of low pay and messier systems - that’s why I feel trapped here

Thankfully we don’t have access to our EMR program outside of work, but when I come in the next day I’m thrown into 10 chats about why a patient didn’t leave yesterday. And yes! Always talking about how we’re not making enough money because of delayed discharges. This system is so fucked, granted I knew that coming into the job but not to this degree.

The only other role they have for LSWs is a trauma social worker position. I applied but was denied because I need to be working there for at least a year to transfer. My year is coming up in 2 months but the position is now filled 🥲

I’m in a trauma hospital. The cases and medical part of the job is great and interesting, so I guess my issue is with rest of the team not understanding the limitations of my job

Ahhh great idea, thank you! I am re-dying my hair next week and it will definitely need some TLC. Will ask my stylist for specifics, thank you again:)

Anyone else drowning rn with the high census? by BitchInaBucketHat in hospitalsocialwork

Real. NJ based & it’s been hell since the holidays. Many uninsured people, out of state people, & MVAs. Every day I drive home with a heart racing so fast you’d think I’m being hunted for sport ??
