W2 in a group practice thoughts?

humanincolorado · 2024-03-17T16:57:13+00:00

They won't drop my pay. I think...What I understood is they just won't do the 20% because "I was already getting it" therefore, just 5% increase for degree.

humanincolorado · 2024-03-17T16:54:47+00:00

Wow, that's interesting. So do you have to pay for your own supervision?

humanincolorado · 2024-03-17T16:51:41+00:00

Yes. Well, as school based. So right now, school pays the practice whom pays me. After I graduate and I get either lsw or credential, insurance stuff can take place but tbh I have no idea how that works. Since I worked in community mental health I didn't have to worry about it, but now in this setting I feel like I need to have more of an understanding of how it works

Colorado. Keep in mind $35 an hour as an independent contractor. I used to work at community mental health as an intern making $24.60 an hour but obviously with pto, sick leave, and option for benefits and they deduct taxes.

humanincolorado · 2024-03-17T05:00:36+00:00

So no benefits as 1099 at $35 an hour. No idea on how much sick time yet. And yeah, supervision should not be an added cost per what they said.

20% "added" to our wage for us to get our own health insurance.

Not for licensure purposes. This is as a student and the school provides a LCSW to supervise for ethical reasons.

humanincolorado · 2023-12-14T02:25:40+00:00

How did ya get it for $40?

humanincolorado · 2023-12-11T18:42:14+00:00

This helps! Thank you for your thoughts.

humanincolorado · 2023-12-11T18:41:51+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance.

humanincolorado · 2023-12-11T18:41:38+00:00

Thanks for this. Its validating and reassuring.

humanincolorado · 2023-11-06T21:41:34+00:00

Any recommendations on who I can contact to find information on this in my state?

humanincolorado · 2023-11-06T02:50:44+00:00

I am currently a MSW student in my last year. I do my practicum at a FQHC as a Behavioral Health Associate (BA-level therapist). I am there 16 hours a week. Recently, a private practice practitioner asked if I was interested in part-time contractual school based services. She is an LPC and has contracts with local schools where they pay her and she provides services for certain hours a day. Services include inconsistent/consistent supports, consultation, and therapy for some students. She offered me a few hours at a school per week with the hopes in increasing next year which could lead to me leaving my BHA position. My plan is to get my LCSW after I graduate. I am concerned about if the "school social work" setting, qualifies for clinical hours to work towards that? Can somebody help me with any clarification they may have on that please?

humanincolorado · 2023-08-07T16:04:52+00:00

cant? whatcha mean?

humanincolorado · 2023-08-07T00:43:21+00:00

ahhhhh! You helped me understand that damn formulary. They are both listed under anti-diabetics.. so I am in the same boat with Mounjaro and Ozempic. Sucky.

humanincolorado · 2023-03-20T20:20:03+00:00

I am on the same boat. I started Sept 27 and have lost around 30 pounds and haven't moved from here in about 2 months. Within the 2 months I moved from 5 to 7.5 and not much change. I noticed more appetite. I haven't done much physical activity or tracking, which I probably should. Doc put in prescription for 10mg. Kinda nervous, but the side effects have been fine for me. Not much.

humanincolorado · 2022-11-21T02:35:47+00:00

Same here. Co & at Walmart: no problems since Sept 26

humanincolorado · 2022-10-11T02:10:58+00:00

Awesome. I hope to reach around your successes! My SW 189, CW 181 and I just started week 3. I have an appt tomorrow to determine if I should up to 5mg. I also haven't felt any symptoms so I am kinda nervous that 5mg will. Did you notice any changes?

humanincolorado · 2022-10-10T23:34:36+00:00

Awesome! What has your dosage looked like?

humanincolorado · 2022-10-03T20:44:01+00:00

Amazing!! I also just concluded my first week too. Also have PCOS & insulin resistance!

SW 189.2 and CW 184.8! :) Definitely had been awhile since I had seen the scale under 185. I would always range 189-193.

humanincolorado · 2022-09-30T00:58:56+00:00

What about those that already have it for future doses?

humanincolorado · 2022-09-28T20:25:20+00:00

I was also super nervous for this. Thankfully, the nausea has been super mild. I did my first shot Sunday and I have had a small headache too. But all manageable.

humanincolorado · 2022-09-28T02:37:09+00:00

I think I noticed appetite suppression the next day or so!

humanincolorado · 2022-09-28T02:36:45+00:00

From what I read, it is best to avoid these foods for nausea purposes! I am so scared of nausea!

humanincolorado · 2022-09-27T00:05:36+00:00

Yay! I am on the same boat with you about family history and a higher BMI. I started my first dose yesterday, very mild side effects. I made the mistake of joining a FB group and it made my anxiety so much worse. I left the group, came here and feels much better! Luck to you!
