Some assist in supporting victims of crime, accidents and the families. They also help people bought in with no place to live, no benefits and counseling relatives when the patient dies. Being a social worker in an emergency room , especially on night duty is a very stressful job, and you need a strong stomach and character to deal with people in a time of personal tragedy and crisis. You will deal with reporting abused children and also telling the parents. You will also have to finish your work and leave it at the door if you want to not burn out, as you will meet many people who due to circumstances, budget, time restraints and job limits you are unable to help even though you know that you were there last chance.
A very important part is to have a very good knowledge of the various health laws. Also a very strong collection of resources to direct people to so they can get help from suitable places in the morning.
VIP, you cannot save everyone and some people despite asking for help do not really want it or use it.
Be prepared that they may give you a scenario and ask you what you would do.
