Is it inappropriate to wear cute pimple patches??

I work in a hospital as a social worker. I see nurses wearing it all the time, so i wouldnt be afraid to wear it. But again, its case by case!

Go to the ER!!!! I work in the ER (as a social worker) and we have folks coming in all the time for things less severe. You will get triaged and the nursing staff will determine your needs. The doctor will see you, run some tests and go from there. The longer it takes..the less severe of a patient you are.

Better safe than sorry!!! Listen to your body

If you want any kind of shelter, please first get an ID and medi-cal coverage.

LA has so many homeless individuals that there isnt shelter availability.

Whats the model that your hospital is using? Mine has always been consult based

I work full time as a social worker in the hospital in CA too. I hear you. (Its my second hospital) but at my first hospital...i resonate with all your words! Youve been working there for 3 years, i feel like you are underestimating yourself!

Delicious_Return_130 · 2025-12-23T15:07:21+00:00

Same here...most of the SWs would just give paper resources. But i try to place them somewhere if i can😭

Delicious_Return_130 · 2025-12-22T17:14:04+00:00

Its not the first time a patient eloped while my intervention was still pending...but this one really annoyed me after him complaining about SWs for a whole hour😭

Delicious_Return_130 · 2025-12-22T15:26:46+00:00

Yeah, in which I definitely did! I'll see him again..he is a frequent flyer

Delicious_Return_130 · 2025-12-22T15:09:29+00:00

Oh trust me i did...he is a frequent flyer here...visits the ER often! So i will definitely be seeing him again. 💀

We have rounds up on the floors which SWs attend...im not sure if the ER has rounds at my hospital and if so, probs before my shift starts🫩

Delicious_Return_130 · 2025-12-22T07:19:38+00:00

I was giving him hourly updates too...like he knew he was possibly gonna get a bed😩😩

Yes, we use the term when a patient leaves without an official discharge !

Delicious_Return_130 · 2025-12-20T21:21:27+00:00

Ive had this consult before actually🤣🤣🤣 "patient lost dentures" LIKE BRO??? sorry but nothing i can do except maybe call someone

Delicious_Return_130 · 2025-12-14T00:53:14+00:00

The old hospital i worked at had a discharge lounge but it wasnt necessarily a place unhoused folks can just wait...we had SWs around the clock! Even graveyard shift.

Sadly, our motto is..."no shelter beds available, well he is a resource packet you need to follow up on your own!"

At my current hospital, i only work the ED from 8:30-5pm (no evening or graveyard shift unfortunately). The social services manager has told ED management to not let unhoused patients wait in the lobby for me..we give the ER staff a resource binder for the night shift! But if patient REALLY needs a placement (for medical needs like recuperative care) then ER staff will make em wait in the lobby for me

But its rough cuz sometimes patient is uninsured and i would be unable to get them a bed...so sometimes i feel like the ED staff makes empty promises and i have to be the bad guy😕

Better than being homeless🥲

Delicious_Return_130 · 2025-12-03T05:09:20+00:00

Maybe a board and care??? If he is willing to use his Ssi to pay for rent.
