Hello,
Wondering if there are any dialysis social workers that can share pros and cons of working in a dialysis clinic? I am considering a position in this area and would love to learn more about it.

5 years at fmc. Pros Is that it’s not a set 8-5. I came and left as the shifts came in. If you are the sole social worker at a clinic they will expect you to do everything. Daily reminder that you are not the secretary for the staff or the patients. Pros is that I was able to do hospice on the side during work hours and go to conferences without taking time off, they didn’t mind. But I worked two clinics one on mon/Wednesday other Tues/Thursday. Try to negotiate 4/10s. I didn’t work on Fridays. Or do what’s best for you. I only left bc I moved & I had my lcsw and felt extremely over qualified

You will never do any counseling.You are there to set up transportation and to handle any problem the patient might have: housing, medication, insurance, etc. A high school graduate could do this job.
Unless you’re based in a hospital, you will never talk to another social worker.And if you don’t yet have your state clinical license, how will you add up the hours needed for clinical?
There’s so much detailed charting that is required by the federal govt. There’s way better jobs.

Hello, I’m an LMSW in Michigan. I have 15 years of experience in the field as a clinician, supervisor, and an administrator. I am feeling burnt out and unsure of my future.

I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump? Am I overthinking things?

Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.
