Reflection Paper On Homestead Hospice

My first day at homestead hospice was Monday Aug. 22. I was really nervous because hospice was somewhere I did not want to be placed. I have feeling that I was placed her for a reason and I might end up loving it. If not I am still glad I get the experience and know I will still learn from it. That morning I was going to meet Stephine Ward my MSW field instructor. Although Stephine is a MSW I learned that she is just working their as an administrator for the agency. My field advisor will actually be Christina she is just on maternity leave for the next month. When I arrived that morning Stephine was having a meeting in her office and I was told to wait for her in the their conference room. While I was waiting a nurse came in to introduce herself and showed me where the bathrooms were and where the kitchen was. She was really nice

I asked her when she wanted these task done by and I also informed her that I could get the clients until next semester. While in seminar I learned that we can only have 1-3 clients and not until next semester. My field instructor wanted me to have 5-6 clients and she didn 't know I couldn’t have them until next semester. So it was really good getting the correct information and that she was understanding. On Wednesday I returned to my placement. I arrived around 9am because I was going to be going on home visit with Rachel one for the social workers there. Rachel did not show up till 12pm! I was really frustrated but while I waited I on worked on the ILP and help around the office. When Rachel finally came in she took me to the conference room and we got to talking and getting to know each other. After talking to Rachel I am actually really looking towards going back to my internship. She was really nice and told me she would be here for me if I need anything. She told me about some of the things she does on a daily bases and I am really excite about learning more from
