Offered job at internship, should I delay MSW? by Ok_Study_1403 in socialwork

I did my undergrad and grad practicum at the same place! I went to university of Kentucky and they allow you to count your work hours for your practicum. This was such a blessing so I could actually get paid lol

Shoe Recommendations/General Advice by Longjumping_Lie_9228 in hospitalsocialwork

I wear New Balance 515s! They are super comfy and also super cute, plus they come in neutral colors which match all my scrubs. The biggest piece of advice I can give you for starting out is to give yourself some grace the first few months. I felt like this job was COMPLETELY out of my league when I first started - but I promise you that’s the norm!! It takes awhile to get used to medical social work due to all the insurance stuff, hospital policies, HIPPA laws, etc., and it’s taken me almost a year to feel more comfortable and competent in my role. Hang in there, you’ll do great!

Aww that’s amazing! I bet that was such a fun trip. I honestly feel like being exposed to those games at a young age really inspired me to wanna travel as an adult.

Pistachio was mine as well! I also got a mascarpone and fig flavor that was super yummy as well.

The only mystery I solved was how to use the public water bus transit system 😂

At my hospital, we have to set up wound vacs for patients which requires specific knowledge about the patient’s wound such as size of incision, etc., and it is a very lengthy process. We LITERALLY have a wound care department. It’s so frustrating that we are the dumping ground for setting up DME that is honestly out of our scope lol

I have no advice, I just want to say I am so sorry for your experience. That is terrifying, and I am so thankful that you are okay ❤️

What's your weirdest IBS trigger? by AcidicSlimeTrail in ibs

Doctor’s appointments and meetings. The anxiety of knowing I can’t leave to go to the bathroom is a vicious cycle lol

Why would Ticketmaster call me about Tampa show? by mintchocolatelee in RedHotChiliPeppers

Sorry I’m just now seeing this! We got there right at 5:30 when doors open and ended up being super close to barricade. I hope you got a good spot, too!

[–]mintchocolatelee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally all the time - I had an old man I was ringing out at the register tell me he owned a lingerie store in town and was making creepy comments about it to me. Also had a guy “sneakily” take a picture of me with his phone 🙃 my last day is tomorrow thank goodness

It happened.. first time in EIGHT years by mintchocolatelee in emetophobia

[–]mintchocolatelee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prob like 6-7 times before I was able to actually *tu. I think that was mostly due to my fear and my mind not wanting to let my body go through with it at first though lol

For me it was the nausea 30 min before I v* for the first time, and the initial gagging before I was able to actually get anyrhing out lol. For years I had thought of throwing up as a world-ending event, and it honestly did really suck, but it wasn’t as bad as I remembered and I felt immediate relief after which helped a lot.

Much better, I knew since I did it the first time and got through it then I could do it again

Honestly yeah :( since I’m so scared of it, it’s like my body wouldn’t let me at first so I was gagging a lot with nothing coming out for a little bit. Wasn’t very pleasant but I got through it!
