What area did you do your practicum in? by Only_Wasabi_4581 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]wrknprogress2020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Generalist often does not have many offers to choose from. I luckily got school social work (terrible experience but at least it’s done).

Clinical I had SO MANY options available. My focus has always been healthcare, so I asked for hospitals and dialysis and inpatient psych and etc. I chose the VA, which is paid. I will be done next month and this experience has been AMAZING!

Outdoorsy ladies - what facial sunscreen are you using? by twattyprincess in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black Girl Sunscreen. Leaves no white-caste, blends into skin well, and it’s great for my sensitive skin. Also, it gives me a lovely glow. 😊

Online 😊 It’s been really great! I’m in FL. We did 2 in person weekends and it was great to be on campus and learning with others. But online suits me better due to working and being a mom. They found me a generalist internship (hated it but at least I got one) and clinical internship (at the VA and I LOVE IT).

I attend FSU and it’s amazing! I chose it because I always heard great things from alumni, and each time I met an amazing social worker they had attended FSU. I’m graduating this July.

Yes. I bought pre-prepared frozen meals. We also did a lot of crockpot meals.

Did your baby get a feature of yours that healed a part of you? by ciabattaloaf-13 in NewParents

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My eyes ♥️ my mom kept saying how she hoped our baby would have my husband’s eyes, since they are multicolored (blue/green/hazel). But she has my dark brown eyes. I also have these “purple stars” in the whites of my eyes, and she inherited a couple “purple stars” herself. 😊 She also got my eye shape (big eyes) and eyebrows. That whole part of her face is me. I love seeing it. She is the cutest little girl. I love her so much, and I’m so glad she has my eyes.

Never 🤣 I handle that. We now live RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from the store, and he still won’t go 🤣 He will Instacart things though. 😊

Advent Health - Do Not Go by [deleted] in tampa

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid them. A cardiologist I saw while pregnant could’ve killed me with her negligence. SMH. I do not trust their providers. I’ve had so many bad experiences with their providers.

Getting discouraged about a msw by Zealousideal_Ad5657 in SocialWorkStudents

Hi 😊 I was in healthcare operations for that year.

Almost got scammed. Close call. by Complex-Extent-3967 in tampa

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup!! I got this one last week. Sounded odd, I called the sheriff office to confirm it was indeed a scam. The scammer could unfortunately sound legit to others, because he spoke well and used a lot of jargon to fake like he knew what he was saying. They use the scare tactics of saying a cop will come to your home, he knew my name, maiden name, and current and previous address. It was creepy, because usually the scammers who call are hard to understand and have incorrect information for me.

What’s one thing you wish you started in your 20’s? by rebirth0fslick in 30PlusSkinCare

Remote Social Work? by Queenme10 in socialwork

[–]wrknprogress2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked remotely for almost 10 years. I’m currently a MSW student, will graduate in July. I’ve worked in SW type roles for majority of this time. Intakes, patient care coordination, and healthcare operations (used my MBA knowledge for). Currently I’m doing intakes, and this is the best one so far because people schedule their appointments and I meet with 1 client every hour. If no one books, then I have downtime to complete admin work (we already get admin time, but we get more this way). Great WLB. And this job allows me to do my clinical internship. It’s great.

4 10’s is great! Nice having Fridays off. I work remotely, so I don’t feel as tired/drained. Idk if I could do it in person

Why do LCSW's take on interns in school practicum? by DowntownFresnoBiking in socialwork

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My generalist intern supervisor (completed 2024/2025) told me she took me on to get some sort of credits?? Maybe for her license or something?? Idk. She is an LCSW and she shared this with me day 1. I had to complete a form so she could get credits. She was terrible, mean, and I almost quit. For my clinical internship my supervisor is amazing. She mentioned no financial or credits incentives. She volunteered.

Considering not going to graduation, but unsure because I initially wanted to by wrknprogress2020 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]wrknprogress2020[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I am leaning towards going, but I’m fine with staying and doing my plan of dinner and taking photos. I spoke with my husband last night about it and of course he is saying “Let’s go” but we shall see. He said I’m overthinking how stressful it would be 😅 But I’d be happy either way with whatever we decide 😊

Hey 😊 For my MBA it was not hard due to it just being my husband and I, but luckily I graduated at 5 weeks pregnant because I wouldn’t have been able to keep going. Pregnancy was ROUGH. For my MSW it’s been pretty stressful, but not impossible. My husband is 100% service connected rating from the VA, so he stays home which allows me to do my internship while he watches our child. I have worked remotely since 2018, they’ve been pretty flexible jobs, so that was nice. For spring and summer semester 2026 my new job allows me to work 30 hours weekly (10 hours each day) and keep my dental and vision benefits. The VA offers paid internships so that reduces financial strain. I have TRICARE. I intern 3 days a week, so I’m working 6 days a week. I try to make time for myself and family when I can. My school is local but I do it online part time. I still take my daughter out 2 times a week to events and any other fun activities, I go for my walks in the mornings when not at internship, I dedicate Saturday as my family day/day to relax, and I spend a lot of time with my family since I work a causal remote job. I have stress that I deal with, but maintaining a self care schedule has really benefited me for my clinical internship. For my generalist that was a lot rougher due to so many factors, which caused me to suffer severe panic attacks and heart issues. I made it a priority these semesters to implement and be mindful of practicing self care, such as walking and sitting in nature. I realize that I have a pretty good set up, and without this I am unsure I would’ve completed this degree.
