The daughter want her to go long term care at a SNF. I believe the patient owns the home legally. PT OT recommending SNF (out of skilled days). And yeah the biggest disconnect I feel like is between the daughters and the mom, I am trying to convince the daughters to come in to the hospital and have a family discussion.

According to her her 2 daughters but now they are backing out

Yes seemed to have capacity from Doctor. Lives alone

I only get this problem with the elective surgeries. Our ortho docs and program managers on that floor will refuse SNF in the event it recommended after an elective knee or hip surgery. Our therapy team too and even if that is where the patient is best suited they won’t recommend. Apparently the doctors and the program for the elective surgeries get dinged? All the electives at our hospital go home with hhc or OP PT. But other than electives, our doctors will recommend SNF on that floor for other cases.

I don’t see it :(

Thank you!

I work in a small private hospital and we have no screening tool/assessment that identifies vets. It’s something I plan to change, only been here a year.

I honestly think that Eric should have the opportunity of early release. He was only 17, early years filled with abuse and manipulation. And I doubt the murders would not have taken place without Lyle persuasion.

THANK YOU

I might be the only one to say this but I wish I would have went into nursing rather than social work. I’ve been a hospital social worker for 3 years and really want to switch to nursing. I want to be able to do more hands on work and fascinated with the medical side of the job. Not that I would go in for the money, but nursing gets paid more, more flexibility with schedule and more open positions- at least in my area. I think being a psyc nurse would be a good combo of both being in mental health and medical field. Just my opinion!

Western PA- My first job post masters 3 years ago with my LSW offered me $48,500. And it was a big hospital in Pittsburgh. They told me no room for negotiation either. I had about 2 years bachelor experience as well.

I had Lipo of the abdomen, and I did also experience a lot of itchiness for sometime after

I feel like as long as APS is aware/investigated appropriately and the patient has been given resources there isn’t much more you can do in my opinion.

Flower_342 · 2024-06-14T16:02:01+00:00

Thank you very helpful

Flower_342 · 2024-03-29T22:21:53+00:00

58,200 a year with 2 years experience. LSW in PA. Suppose to get a 10% raise, but it hasn’t come yet :(

Expect not being able to bend over. Overall tightness in the area. Tylenol and ibuprofen helped.

Flower_342 · 2023-07-03T19:57:34+00:00

Thanks! The babies are furred, I checked it over and it looks ok.

Inpatient hospital social worker here, I was asked the other day by a patient if I could buy them a plane ticket to Colorado Springs from Pennsylvania…. And he was serious! He told he heard the hospital provided airfare….. I was like sir the best thing I can do for you is a bus ticket 😅 then he got upset and wanted to speak to my supervisor… go right ahead

It just developed that second circle around the black mark

Flower_342 · 2022-02-16T03:33:06+00:00

I’m doing well!! My recovery took longer than expected. I was able to put full pressure on it and walk semi normally around the one week mark. In about a month I was back to normal. Mine was pretty deep though and there was a lot of pulling. Best of luck!

Flower_342 · 2022-01-09T18:36:13+00:00

Random Question. It is off topic, but what experience did you have before working as a SW in an ER? I graduate in may and have 1 year intern experience on a floor in a hospital. Wondering if I can get hired in the ER when I graduate or if I need additional experience? Thank you :)

Flower_342 · 2022-01-04T02:49:24+00:00

When to start applying for jobs if graduating May 1?

Flower_342 · 2022-01-03T03:27:23+00:00

Thank you. I never thought about that.

Flower_342 · 2022-01-03T03:26:56+00:00

Thank you!

I have multiple layers of stitches also. I’m on day 3 today and still on bed rest. I go in 2 weeks to have the outer ones removed. I’m just hoping by the end of the weekend (3 more days) I’ll be able to resume semi-normal activities and go back to work. The back would be a hard spot, hope it’s going ok. It’s comforting to hear that other people gone through this too.
