Hello there, I have a question. 🙋🏼♀️Compared to the nurses and doctors how much patient contact do medical social workers have? Does it vary on each patient and their needs. Also, is there a lot of red tape and bureaucracy involved; this is a hypothetical question bc I’m guessing there has to be depending on insurances state versus private etc. I am a former psych nurse and have only worked in state hospitals and acute psych facilities which is going to be much different from a medical hospital without a psych unit. I am currently a senior as a BSW student.
Hi there! Thank you so much for asking. Medical social workers have just as much contact with patients as a nurses and doctors do. Sometimes even more, depending on the patient's psychosocial needs. It can also be dependent on the facility you work at. I think your experience as a psych nurse will be invaluable to you as you become a medical social worker. I think you would transition very well. I have also worked in a psych hospital, and there are several similarities to medical social work. " Red tape" is going to be dependent on where you work but it is always there. It just looks different. As a social worker, your strength will be on how creative you can get things done. I hope that helps!
But it’s the hospital goal to push people out as fast as possible. It’s usually premature and results in an unsafe discharge and high rate of rapid re-hospitalizations
