Social Worker FAQs

Q: What does p.r.n. mean?

A:
“P.r.n.” or pro re nata is a Latin term meaning "under the circumstances".  For social workers, this is an opportunity to work in a fashion that meets your “whole life” needs- choosing work that provides both great experience but has flexibility around the other important areas of one’s life.  Other social workers might see this as an option during times of transition, for example, when in between jobs, moving to a new area, or changing fields of practice.


Q: What are your requirements?

A: The primary requirement to affiliate with Social Work p.r.n. is holding a Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctorate degree from a CSWE (Council on Social Work Education, www.cswe.org) accredited social work program.  Additional requirements include social work licensing according to state regulations, malpractice insurance and professional references and criminal backgroung screening. 


Q: What work opportunities are available through Social Work p.r.n.?

A:
Social Work p.r.n. has opportunities for temporary, temp-to-perm and permanent work.  The majority of our work requires 20-40 hours per week, daytime availability.  Affiliates are placed in all fields of social work practice including health, behavioral health, children and family, aging services and much more.  Our most frequent requests are for direct services, however, other work might include supervision, program management, administration, consultation, contract therapy, and home visits.


Q: Will I be able to work as much as I want to work?

A:
Our goal is to keep affiliates as busy as they would like to be with work, however, this will depend on the needs of the local office at the time of affiliation, the social worker’s experience and availability for work, and the social worker’s flexibility/adaptability with the needs of the practice setting.  We support social workers making decisions about their “fit” with Social Work p.r.n. based on these circumstances.

Social Work p.r.n.  CORE VALUES


• Businesses are built on relationships.  Relationship building is paramount to the   success of the business.

• People, specifically, our employees and affiliate staff, are our most valuable resource.    Consistent validation of a person's contributions helps a person feel valued.

• "Growing people" is both good for persons and the organizations for which they labor

• Persons are entitled to be "whole people" with "whole lives" even though they work
  at jobs.

• The concept of "fit" --- that is the idea that the relationship helps to fill the needs of   both parties to the relationship if a fit exists --- is pragmatic in business.

Social Work prn was just what I needed.  It provided me with an opportunity to explore various positions.  If I had any concerns I felt that I had an attentive listening ear and always felt that my concerns were heard.  I felt supported when I declined positions and was able to wait for another placement that I felt would be a better fit.  I wholehearted recommend Social Work prn.
