Pros

Some days were super rewarding being able to run groups and make connections with patients. Coworkers were generally supportive.

Cons

Management was negligent to say the least, and we were almost always severely short-staffed, leading to MANY unsafe situations on the unit. Some staff would also instigate patients and we had few ways of reporting when staff were the ones making problems for patients. Easy to burn out when you feel patients aren't actually receiving the care they need.

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.
