Identify Celia’s two social work supervisors, and distinguish their roles in relation to Celia.
Celia O’Neil, a 39-year-old baccalaureate social work student, was assigned to complete her internship in a nursing facility where she had been employed for the past 12 years and continued to work three days a week as the Activity Director. The social work director, Betty Williams, LSW, was Celia’s task supervisor but new to the nursing home setting. Therefore, Sally Jones, LCSW, served as Celica’s preceptor. Celia’s client, Mr. Brown, was a 47-year-old man admitted to the nursing home in June 2001 with numerous psychosocial needs. Celia was frustrated by what she interpreted as Betty’s lack of effort to assist Mr. Brown. She began to wonder whether her supervisor cared about the client, and she found the nursing staff uncaring and non-supportive. In addition, the nursing staff made rude comments about Mr. Brown right in front of him, which upset Celia a great deal. She felt the comments were abusive and she wondered how to advocate for Mr. Brown.
Celia’s two social work supervisors were Betty and Sally. Betty, who was new to working in the nursing home setting, worked full-time at the facility, and was responsible for assigning tasks to Celia. Sally was a social work consultant and had over 20 years of nursing home experience. Sally was responsible for meeting with Celia and Betty weekly for supervision and consultation, and for overseeing Celia’s fieldwork in the nursing facility. Sally was responsible for evaluating Celia’s progress toward her learning objectives. In addition, Sally provided professional consultation to Betty.
