Adventures on Assignment

We're each have our own reasons for traveling as a social worker.  For me, the travel aspect is one of the most important.  Traveling has shown me my strength as an individual.  I've driven across the country several times.  I try to immerse myself in the culture, and best of all, no week is routine.

My first assignment was in San Jose, California.  I drove from Chicago to San Jose in 4 days.  Having grown up in Southern California, the road trips we did were from Southern to Northern California, or from Southern California to Salt Lake City.  We always powered through in an effort to get somewhere.  And while the goal was to end up on my assignment, I took my time on this journey for a couple reasons:  1)  I could; 2) I was driving with my cat; 3) it was an opportunity to stop and see some silly sights.

Now, if I take a road trip, I generally consult Roadside America to see what fun things are on the way.  Here are a smattering of pics from my last several years on assignments.

Which Agency Should I Choose?

Image
I'm currently on assignment working three 12-hr shifts.  I feel like I've scored the social work lottery:  a three-day work week!  Because of this, I mostly rested and recouped yesterday...but I've been watching the poll I created in the facebook group . It seems that most members are interested in deciding which agency to choose, so we'll tackle that. I've traveled with two companies over the nearly three years.  They're very different in the assignments they offer and how they pay, so I can understand the confusion about who to choose.  If you're planning on getting in to travel, I think there are a few questions one has to ask when considering agencies. 1)  What is your background as a social worker? The relevance of this question, I think is the most important.  If you have only behavioral health experience as an outpatient, this will potentially limit with whom you can travel right out of the gate.  Most agencies offer as their bread and butter tr

How do I become a travel social worker when my background is only mental health?

I think we can all agree that social work is a broad field, right?  And most social work skills are very transferable from one setting to another.  Mental Health care to medical care can be a rough transition, though.  Here are some of my thoughts on why: 1)       Modern day acute medical care is not set up for long-term planning, in-depth interventions, and rapport building.  It’s set up to move people to a lower level of care as quickly and safely as possible.  This means it has become more difficult to do good quality planning for long-range outcomes in an acute care setting.  So the skills that you have gained doing individual and family therapy in an outpatient or even an inpatient behavioral health hospital are less likely to transfer to modern day medical inpatient social work.  I think an exception here would be your skills working a psych ED – and this is because the goal of a psych ED is to assess quickly and move to the next level of care, whether that’s in the behav

Housing Resources

I'm not the biggest fan of finding my own housing while on contract, but sometimes, it's inevitable.  I have this weird thing that the less untaxable cash that flows through my hands the less liability I have with the IRS.  However, lately, even companies that almost exclusively put you up in hotels are now in the business of negotiating "all-inclusive" contracts with hospitals because it's less expensive for the hospital and it makes the agency more competitive in the staffing market. Here are the resources I've used or friends have used for housing while on contract. FurnishedFinder :   What I like about this site:  It's geared specifically towards travel nursing; the listings will tell you how close the nearest hospitals are and how walkable the locations are.   What I don't like about this site:   When you search for pet-friendly housing, it populates a list that includes housing that is clearly not pet-friendly There's no time f
