I had two horrible internship experience while getting my MSW. During my second internship my supervisor assigned me 5 different school sites to attend to facilitate individual and group sessions.. I was driving everywhere for the two days I was at internship.. on the last day I found out the other intern only had two school sites to attend.. I had a feeling my supervisor was treating me unfairly, but that just confirmed it. I was very close to not passing internship because for whatever reason my supervisor had it out for me.. worst experience ever. Made me regret getting an MSW.. I’m glad I overcame that part in my life and I am thankful I never gave up.

Keep me in your prayers, my current internship site is kinda bad. I just find it hard to find things to do on the job since there is a lot of down time.

I am sorry to hear that. It may be a good idea to shadow other people outside of your field supervisor if it is okay. That way you are making the best of your time there. Best wishes 🙏🏽

I had internship as a medical assistant, it was a small clinic, super unfriendly supervisor so I quit in 2 days, could not handle it

I’d love to see a video about your internship at the psych hospital and what it involved. I am starting my MSW this summer and am trying to figure out what type of internship I would do best in and learn the most from. Awesome video, thank you for sharing! 😊

God brought me to your channel for a reason. I am in the process of interviewing for my MSW internship currently. I’m very passionate about medical social work but it has been difficult finding placements in that area. However, I have a interview coming up for a potential position in the hospital’s adult psychiatrist. Which is not something I thought I’d be interested in. Nonetheless, I am willing to open myself to new opportunities and growth within this field. Thank you for this video because I was feeling very discouraged but this has brought a new perspective.

I know this is years ago but this is my EXACT EXPERIENCE right now. Field placement is not what I expected. I want to focus specifically on Medical Social Work and when I looked on the list there is no clinical/medical work and only relates to being a therapist on the list. It's just a hot mess. Don't even know what to do now I can only trust in Jesus. Half of the faculty are no help either.

I love story time!!!! I think I have imposter syndrome, I don't give myself credit and when I know I don't always speak up because I don't speak up for myself in situations because I don't feel confident enough. My bachelor placement wasn't much of an learning environment. I've learned most from tube. Thanks for sharing.

I totally relate to your internship experience. I faced the same experience and had to complain to my school field office. I am currently on my second placement, although it's not my choice. The atmosphere is accommodating

I had my internship as e commerce, but my superviser didnt read my offer letter and try to assign me to edit video. She look down on me when i said i didnt know how to do it. After that, she never assign me to do anything.
