I'm still working at this prison job while continuing my search to find a more appropriate, and better, job closer to home.  In the meantime, I've had a revelation that one of my colleagues is an N and another colleague is her N-supply.  Sheesh!!!!!!!!!

Dear Bones,

Counting blessings here... I'm glad you have a regular paycheck to pay the bills!

About N's... I have a hunch we could find at least a pair just about anyplace we looked, to one degree or other.
And if there's a blessing to be counted where they're concerned, at least this one already has her "fix" with supply?

okay, I know that's a stretch.
Glad you're okay, anyhow 

Love,
Hope

Thanks, Hope.

I also got some unexpected vindication today.

The Big Boss came to the facility and called a staff meeting.  Turned out we were FINALLY having our very first, legally official, clinical supervision meeting to do case presentations.  My immediate supervisor, in front of her boss and the entire staff, FINALLY openly admitted that (1) we have no clinical supervisor yet, (2) she is not legally allowed to act as a clinical supervisor, or even act as a trainee supervisor, because (3) she has out of state certification and is NOT certified in Maryland...(which is EXACTLY what I had been communicating with the licensing Board all along!)  Her boss, the Big Boss, did have legal authorization to conduct clinical supervision today.  However, the rest of the day, my immediate supervisor was clearly less than friendly with me.  (I got the feeling that when I informed the Board about her writing me up for telling the truth, they might have gotten on her case for doing that.)

Hello Bones!

I haven't been about for awhile, so I couldn't offer any support in this latest imbroglio. Your vindication was so sweet! I am so glad that the truth is being recognized and spoken- sometimes the hounds at work can repeat their line of garbage so much that they start to believe it's true, and expect you to as well ! You are a wonder of strength Bones, and there is something better for you coming up, and then you can kiss these turkeys GOODBYE! Until then remember- A dog may bark at a queen, but the queen need not bark back!

Hugs,

Changing

Wow Bones,

This thread is almost a year old.  I wonder if any other has lasted as long.

Yes. I'm glad you have a pay cheque to keep the wolf from the door as you wait!

Hang in there

Hurrah and Hurray!!  (((((((((Bones)))))))))   She may be less than friendly for now... but she may be less than employed if she doesn't straighten up and fly right!  I think it's wonderful that you were able to precipitate some positive action there and - hopefully - more improvement will soon follow!  Congratulations on a job well done 

Love,

Thank you, Izzy.

At the same time, the issue is more than just a pay cheque/check.  There are other legal ramifications involved regarding certification and licensure of mental health care providers.

I'm hoping things improve for the benefit of the clients, even if I leave sooner than I expect.

Bones,

I'm only your gentle reader, but something in your post makes me think you've made a very good decision.

Along the lines of what Hops said, I'm wondering if the accounts you've shared on the board might come in handy if you do file a grievance.   Just a thought.
 
I'm with you and send my best.
