[@madisongarcia2263]

can you talk a little bit about what you do there?

[@rob2159596]

Thank you so much for this video! I feel so great going into social work as a black male. I know this will be a challenging path but I feel it will surely be rewarding. I will be graduating with my BSW next year and I cant wait to see where God takes me with this career.

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Best wishes to you. Thanks for watching/

Thank you for making this video, I am in my first year as a MSW student and I have been thinking of being a social work in the ER. Can you please do a video on psychiatry social work in a hospital please?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Hello there! thank you for watching I will work on that. In the meantime watch this video to learn a bit about psychiatric social work in general kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6ioXpWYd6eqiJo

[@beeW1121]

Great video! I would love to hear more about macro social workers. More specifically SW’s in policy and government!

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thank you. I will work on that! Dont forget to subscribe to stay updated.

[@ErinRockafellow]

It is so awesome to learn about social work jobs that are not high lighted. I graduate with my BSW in April and I can't wait to learn about what can come next.

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Best wishes to you!

[@neha7690]

Heyy omg I’m from the Detroit area too! I’m considering going into social work from teaching.

[@hannahgrey101]

Thanks for making this video. I’m currently In my basw and going into advance standing MSW. I want to go into er social work or hospice maybe the pediatric unit. Your videos have been supper helpful. Can you talk more about safety when in the field and how to protect yourself and even when doing home visits.

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Safety when in the field is a great idea for a future video. I will be sure to add that to my list. Thank you for watching and I am glad you found this video helpful!

[@Sans_Fear]

I am loving your videos!!! I just passed my LSW exam and am looking into jobs (not currently in the field) and your information is so helpful! One thing I wanted to ask...is it possible for you to create a video on SW wardrobe? Thank you so so much 💓

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thank you and congratulations on passing your exam! Thats a great idea for a future video. Thank you for watching!

[@LBay-ko9jf]

@@MillennialSocialWorker please do! I’m still debating because some settings you can wear jeans and a hat. In some setting you need to be very professional or wear at least some sort of cardigan.

[@caribaez5711]

Can you give advice in how to write a personal statement for a bsw?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

I have a video on writing a personal interest statement, and you can watch it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXSqZWOtn7J8o80

[@yvonnevisor962]

Thank you for the video. It is very informative

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

You are welcome!

[@rye1396]

Love the video. I’m starting an MSW program this fall. What are the average number of patients you have at one time in the ER? And is a medical social worker considered an independent contractor or do they receive benefits like health and life insurance through the hospital? Thank you!

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thank you. The number of patients you will have in an ER setting is completely based on the number of beds (ie. Capacity) of the ER in the hospital where you work and the number of Social Work consults you receive from day to day. In a hospital setting, the Medical Social Worker is a part of the hospital staff not an independent contractor. They receive all the benefits that comes along with being a fulltime employee. I have never encountered a scenario where Medical Social Workers in hospitals have been independent contractors. Social Workers are typically independent contractors in outpatient private practice.

[@latishawalker5009]

It is possible a medical social work can be PRN as needed. In that position they would not receive any benefits. They will basically be working when they are available or when there is a need for a social worker. I’ve seen a few job postings like that

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

@@latishawalker5009 Agreed. But a PRN "as needed" employee is not the same as an independent contractor.

[@DJGENOTYPE]

Just earned my LMSW back in December and looking to get into the hospital setting as a case manager. Most places I apply for need at least two years experience. Where do I start?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Congratulations! If you are not already doing so, you should be including your internship as a part of your work experience and/or work with a resume specialist to create a strong resume. Many employers put years of experience as a preference, not a requirement. Dont let that stop you from applying.

[@tamaraslay]

i'm a social worker and been binge watching ER so now i'm here lol

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Lol. Glad to have you here!

[@cassidyrose1911]

how do i get a medical field SW position without any experience?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

I would suggest on your resume, make sure to highlight your skills and how it matches what the potential employer is looking for. It will also be beneficialto work with a resume builder.

[@omobolanleogunyemi7143]

Is the skin for me

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thank you! 😊

[@estrellasjournal]

this is such an informative video! i'm planning to get a bsw and work in a healthcare setting. working at ER sounds intriguing.

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

[@dancer0887]

can you have your bachelors in SW and work in the ER?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

That would depend on the hospital but a lot of employers want candidates to have a Masters degree.

[@yuditharenas8248]

Thanks for the video!! Quick question how long do you work with the patient since it's a ER. I don't know if you still work with the patient once they have left the hospital or ER. Thanks!

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

You are welcome. Good question. Once a patient is discharged/ transferred to another hospital or Unit from the ER, your work as an ER Social Worker is done. You will work with the patient the duration of their stay in the ER which can be a few hours to several days depending on the case.

[@C3yl0]

Thank you for this amazing video. Can you do a video about pediatrics social work in hospital? 👽♥️♥️♥️

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Noted. Thank you for watching.
