Pros

Experience working with mentally ill patients Looks great on resume Coworkers work as team on my unit Rewarding feeling of helping people

Cons

Low pay with bachelors degree Working with several coworkers who have low education and don't know what they are doing. Staffing issues that causes mandation *Mandation -forcing you to work another 8 hours because staff is needed on the next shift. Disrespectful managers and nurses Lazy nurses who sit in the back of the nurses station while you do all the work. Feeling burnt out from helping the patients while other staffing issues happen everyday

Pros

Good job starting out if interested in the mental health field

Cons

Current supervisor at the Elkridge location enables questionable ethical practices among social workers, such as deleting some parts of an discharge summary as to avoid compromising the hospital. she also is too focused on planning her future vacations instead of managing the constant bullying from certain colleagues and overall lack of support as an supervise. Only opportunities for growth is to supervise interns or do some of the supervisor’s tasks when she’s working at the center of eating disorders in towson. Also, some units are actually breaking OHCQ by allowing patients in the nurses station and barely doing groups. Current supervisor is clearly burnt out and devoid of empathy because the money from being manager of two different locations is worth it if it means there’s a lack of investment towards her supervises. As a result, supervision is poor because there’s no manager to refer to if there are any questions or issues in person.
