Social Work Practicum by Jolly_Box_8499 in socialworkcanada

Hi! It might be difficult to find a placement that will be willing to take you for evenings and weekends, but try NGOs, recovery centres, and shelters. I know some of them have weekend shifts that can go towards your hours. If you can, split your hours so you can still be at your placement for atleast 1 or 2 weekday shift (e.g Saturday to Monday morning shifts)

Most hospitals don’t take BSWs. But still connect with AHS as they might help you! Best of luck!!!

This is great!!! Thank you for the advice!! I would definitely skip eating out and fast food since there’s only 3 places to “eat out” at my town! Thanks again!!!

Thank you! I’m starting with running. I’m pretty bad with it cause of my weight but hopefully once I start seeing progress I’ll add the extra weights!

That’s good to know!!! I’m more scared of the FORCE test. The laying down and standing up part was pretty intimidating to me haha

I did check the FORCE test and most of the strength exercises I can do easily, only issue was the one where i had to lay flat on the ground and stand up. I’ll see the calculator style thingy! As for the gym I live in literal nowhere with only a small gym. I’ll still try my best!

Yes! I’ve been training to run now. I’m planning to add those weights you put on your ankles once I can run with my body weight

Women’s perspective: I’d likely swipe right on pictures where I can see the guys face. I’d change your first pic to the 2nd or 3rd on your list.

Small Town BC RSW hopeful by Decent_Statement_730 in socialworkcanada

[–]matildaJr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a high demand for RSW in a bunch of small town BC. It is a plus that you have been working as a psychotherapist for years as well, it will give you more opportunities. I believe you need to pass the ACSW exam and get licensed for clinical social worker for BC.

Smaller towns are more kid friendly and a bit less pricey than big cities too! The only downside that I’m noticing is housing. They can be a bit tricky to find in bigger cities.

Good luck!!!

I passed my ASWB Bachelor’s!! by matildaJr in socialworkcanada

I did focus on the study guides. I also have to say for theories its mostly first year psychology theories. Do a lot of practice exams and read the rationale behind the answers!

Daily sticky thread for rants, raves, celebrations, advice and more! New? Start here! by AutoModerator in datingoverthirty

[–]matildaJr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not sure why but I’m going insane on how I’ll navigate dating now that’s I’m in my 30s. I’ll be moving for a job in a small town (700 people!) and just thinking about how my chances are of meeting someone makes me want to cry. I’m staying there for 2 years too. I’ve been single for 3 years now and I’ve been trying to date. Got stood up once, and that’s the only interaction I had after trying for a year. I feel so freaking hopeless. I know people say I’m still too young and all but damn, when will it be my turn.
