in-depth days working at a children’s hospital 🏥🫀👩🏻‍⚕️ what do medical social workers do?

[@aliciamayrn]

The medical social worker at the hospital my nephew was born at was amazing! He tested positive for substances so SW stepped in, I became his foster mom and ended up taking him home from the hospital. The 3 weeks he was in the hospital, she was so amazing with communication and honestly the only reason I knew a lot of the information. You could tell she truly cared.

[@AnnaBea]

I’m so glad you had such a good experience with your social worker 💗 I hope to be able to be that person for my families, too!

[@cherishrake9562]

As a float pool CNA in a hospital, I gotta say the social workers are the real MVPs no matter the unit.

[@jamiegallupe9875]

Thank you for your videos! I’m in the early steps of a career change in to social work, and it’s so helpful to see a real social worker talking about their day-to-day, because it can seem to mysterious! Thank you! You’re awesome!

[@AnnaBea]

so glad this video is helpful to you!!! I'll keep making em :)

[@beautynbrainzxo]

I’m also interested in a career change into social work, currently in healthcare administration! What career are you leaving behind? Are you pursuing an MSW?

[@jamiegallupe9875]

@@beautynbrainzxo Sort of pivoting out of child education! Hoping to work with children more directly in a social work setting. We'll see, only the application is done 😅

[@nayb6470]

[@xtraluv4u]

I've always heard you shouldn't take up weight training and running. I forget the science behind it but I've always heard to stick to one or the other. You job sounds amazing. You're very fortunate you don't have to worry about being on call during the evening or weekends. The perfect job!!

[@AnnaBea]

Definitely while training long distances I don’t want to overwork myself! It’s so weird though going from 100% one thing to 100% another 🤣 I do feel very lucky for my hours! Hope your day is going well 💗

[@mansoor3159]

Anna your Kitchen looks so so amazing and clean and my day is incomplete without your vlogs you are my inspiration and I wish you have a wonderful day😃💟💫

[@rackyshak]

[@GhostRider-o6i]

I admire ur courage trust me it takes lots of strength to stay in a field like social work ... personally i would never work with children the reason is that im traumatised by myself and my childhood so i think i would be triggered

[@jenifer5756]

You are a fantastic inspiration! Thanks so much !

[@AnnaBea]

Thanks for watching! 💗

[@cynthiasanchez5957]

I love your videos 💕 Have you done any videos on the salary as a medical social worker ? 🙏

[@mjsoskie]

Thank you for sharing about your day. Its so interesting to hear all the things you get to do in your new position. How is the case load for you guys? What is the "norm" in terms of how many patients you guys ended up having? Thanks,

[@AnnaBea]

Mine hasn't really settled at a number yet due to still being newer but I believe the norm for us is about 15 families at a time

[@amaniallen96]

Hi Anna!! Thank you for sharing! I loved watching this video and you definitely have a new subbie 💛 keep going!!! You got this!

Could you talk more about trauma informed care through a social work perspective? ❤

[@AnnaBea]

I will keep this in mind for future videos! 💗

[@betulbayram5257]

Hello, I am grateful to you for this wonderful video. I am a social work student in Turkey. My biggest dream is to work abroad. Can you give me information on how I can work abroad?

[@AnnaBea]

I am not familiar with how to work abroad since I have never done the process myself but good luck💗💗

[@mercedescross4634]

How long are the hours for a medical social worker? I'm interested in getting my MSW. Not sure how long internship is though.

[@AnnaBea]

my work hours are regular full time hours! for internship, a MSW typically requires 900 internship hours total (less if you have a bachelors of social work -- my internship was not in a hospital). I think this video will be helpful for you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/faPRoGCtlqpkrrc

[@SimplyTy215]

Hi! Can you make video on pay rates for social workers

[@AnnaBea]

I'll add this to the list for future videos!! a lot of pay rates will vary depending on the area your job is in and the area of the field you are in. Glassdoor can be a helpful website to see what social workers are making in your area at specific places of work!

[@sarahogren1644]

Hello new subscriber here! I am currently earning my MSW and am starting my Internship with a hospital in their Childrens Behavioral and Mental health department. I am very nervous and even though I really don't know what I am doing for my day to day but I dont want to show up and truly not know what I am doing. This video was very helpful and at least calmed my nerves a little bit. If anyone has any advice id GREATLY appreciate it!

[@AnnaBea]

i'm so glad this video helped out 💗 you've got this. not knowing everything to start is so okay -- there will be a big learning curve but that means that you are growing!

[@AnnaBea]

medical social work is a type of clinical social work!

[@berthulystalbert9112]

If I have a Bachelor degree when would you recommend at work at the hospital??

[@AnnaBea]

look at job postings in your area to learn about what opportunities you have with your bachelors! different cities and states vary on what qualifications you need for different job titles -- my position requires an LMSW but not every hospital requires you to have your masters
