Loyola MSW Admin
For an extremely long story short — for Loyola’s MSW (masters of social work) program we all need clinical hours, which is a nice term for an unpaid internship. Hours are needed fall/spring and I’m doing full time for about 2 years.
Okay context done. Over the past two now almost three months I’ve reached out to maybe 15-18 organizations, weekly follow ups now turning into daily, the one interview I did secure I was on the zoom for 30+ minutes and no one showed (I ended up getting rejected anyways lol). NO ONE IS RESPONDING!!!!!! About a month ago I turn to Loyola Admin (my direct point of contact, her higher up, her higher up, and the dean) all of whom have been less helpful and have caused significantly more stress.They all recommended multiple times to drop the class and push it out and enroll in another semester. Oh! How could I forget! They also gave me an outdated list of internship positions! At this point I’ve heard back from more places rejecting me/have hit capacity than I have for an actual fucking chance. Deadline to secure a position is 8/24, if nothing comes up I’ll need to drop.
I struggle with mental and thus physical health very frequently and I have stated multiple times to admin this is directly affecting my wellbeing and I’ve been seriously mentally ill. I’m at the point of potentially dropping the whole program. Like, breaking out in hives stressed. So I’m turning to this app now, PLEASE HELP
