What a Typical Day of a Hospital Social Worker is Like 

Thank you for your suggestion! I will see if I can get a video about that in the next 2 weeks

Yes! Great suggestion!

Thank you for your support! Each state has different requirements on what they will consider count towards supervision hours of your LCSW. For example, Kansas does not typically recognize medical social work to count towards ours and less a specific plan is developed to show how it meets criteria. On the other hand, in Missouri, medical social work absolutely qualifies towards LCSW supervised hours. I looked at the California board of behavioral sciences breakdown of required experience that you can find at: www.bbs.ca.gov/pdf/forms/lcs/lcs_exp_chart.pdf It appears that you can use medical social work hours towards your supervision. As long as you can explain the experience type. I can tell you that in pretty much any medical social work job, you will have clinical and non-clinical experience that you can use towards your supervision requirements.

Yes! I'll work on that 😊

Social workers have many different roles in many different settings. So it depends. In a hospital setting, they are not necessarily counselors, although they do provide some supportive counseling/ therapy as needed to patients.

@@socialworkmastery thank you!!

I can certainly address this in a future video. If you would like more immediate consultation, feel free to email me! I'm happy to answer your questions.

@@socialworkmasteryWill do!

You get into the health field, you'll meet turf issues. "Counselors" are not usually recognized by others.
