I am a MSW, LSW leaving the profession for nursing. I feel there are more opportunities for growth and my SW degree will make me a great nurse and provide patients the best care and outcomes. SWs also get dumped on and are pressed to find solutions that honestly cannot be easily achieved due to the very nature of what we do. Nursing is a bit more cut and dry and that direct care experience is invaluable. SWs also tend to work 9-5 jobs and are salaried and don't get paid overtime when working beyond their shift, where nurses get that hourly pay and OT!
I have an MSW. I graduated 8 years ago and have never used it. I just recently decided to start looking into medical social work.
In Canada you need a Master in social work to provide counseling.
And even a master doesn’t grant you access to you’re own sessions
I have always had an interest in psychology and wanted to do Social Work until I started working at hospital on the front line and started questioning my first choice since the emotional impact SW can have can get overwhelming
Thank you this helped me out a lot in my decision I’ve already enrolled for social worker but something keep telling me nursing school but with more details you’ve provided helped me thank you
Thank you for your feedback on the both careers
Thank you for this video. Love 💕
Thank you so much for this video! I’m still so stuck between the two- I have a bachelors in neuroscience and some CNA experience. Do you have any other experiences that would help me decide?
can a nursing graduate opt for masters of social work ? if yes, is it a good option if someone wants to increase there options like i'll have option to work in clinical as well as non clinical side of healthcare. or there is thing like nursing is more prestigious or high status job than social worker i'm just confused.💮
Same here I am stuck it’s so confusing to choose , but in terms of money nursing pays high and it’s highly on demand
Yes, you can. Depends on the specific program's prerequisites and required competences. Some places also offer bridge programs from nursing to social work to complete the degree in a shorter period of time. You will have to pass a licensure exam to be an LCSW, so that entails another board examination, clinical hours, and state licensure. With that degree, you can open your own private practice and provide counseling or be a social worker in a variety of settings. Working in private practice is probably the most lucrative option. Hard to compare prestige in these roles. As the master's prepared nursing equivalents are pretty well respected also.
Iam nurse degree but not RN Nurse how can iget RN Nurse
