[acb-hsp] MSW?

[Louise Pearson]

Hi Yvonne

Well now I never make myself popular on these lists I'm afraid, and .... I might not do so this time by asking ... of what relevance is your imergency surgery to your social work school? I know, I know, it sounds harsh, but whoever suggested you get a wheely case is right, I think it was Donna? They are not about being flexible Yvonne, they are surely about ensuring that the Masters students they turn out have done the requisite work. It'd be terribly disappointing for you to have had this happen ... I can't begin to imagine how annoying it must be, but ... honestly, in so far as i can see, this is not their issue, but yours.  What sort of work could you do from home, that is relevant to your field placement? What sort of accreditation would they be giving you? 

Yep, its unfortunate, but ... we have to be better than the best Yvonne, or the old stereotypes win out ... and are you thinking that a blind supervisor from one of these lists willl be more understanding? Gosh, I don't have a masters, and I live in Australia, but my students certainly work hard. I wouldn't necessarily be. *grin*

Good luck anyway.

  Yes, this semester is almost over and I am not sure if I will even get my hours in. I have had some attendance issues in the past, but have addressed the problem. But, I just had emergency surgery to take out my appendix and have asked to work from home for 2 weeks since I am not able to carry my laptop bag around since it is to heavy. I called and emailed my supervisor and she has not even bothered to return either message. I found out that I cannot work from home from the field coordinator. I was also questioned why I can attend class and not work, well class is 2 hours per day for 3 days a week and I can get around not taking my laptop. So at this point I am very stressed and upset, not to mention in pain.

  Hi Donna,

   

  I am one of those unassertive ones who suffered through a terrible field placement and failed, and thus had to repeat a year of grad school.  By all means, I would urge Yvonne to request an alternate placement.  It is early enough in the school year that this should be possible.

  Hi Yvonne,

   

  I think this person has to live in your state.  Didn't your school make this placement?  They usually do this for you which means they are responsible for changing it when yours doesn't work out.  I would suggest you go and talk to your field placement office.  I have seen a lot of students who aren't comfortable with their current placements who suffer in silence when changing might be possible and necessary.  Good luck.

   

   

   

   

  Peace to you,
  Donna Rose, LMSW

   

  The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

    I am having allot of problems with my current internship and would like to change, but I need to be supervised by someone with a MSW or a higher degree in social work. So I am wondering if anyone on the list has a MSW, and if I am allowed would have 1 hour per week to help me with supervision? Not sure yet if this is even allowed, but am checking out my options.

    Thanks,

    Yvonne
