She found another county nurse to work with who has done this in the past and was happy to do this for her. The problem comes from her boss. My mother submitted all her paperwork in April to the county to be signed to allow this nurse to work with her. They said they were hiring a new person to fill that position and to wait until it was filled. She said okay, and resubmitted everything in July when the position was filled. And heard nothing back.

She contacted the nurse who she was supposed to work with and she said that the new boss has been threatening to fire everyone and pulling all these stupid mind games with everyone so no one will ask him about my mom's paperwork. So she starts calling him. He doesn't return calls or when she shows up there he doesn't have time to see her. Meanwhile her program deadlines are approaching and there are no grace periods.

So I called in a couple of friends. One of whom is kind of a big deal at the county offices. She asked him what was going on with the paperwork and where he was with that stuff. He told her that the county did not have a contract with the college doing the credentialing and they couldn't do it. Now that was a lie. When my mom emailed all the info she sent a copy of the contract the county signed stating the contract was good to 2016. When the friend said lets call and ask my mom. She told her that, and sent another copy of it by email and printed a copy and took it down there.

When she got there both the friend and my mom went in there to see what else needed to be done to get the man to sign the paper. He said he would look at. So they leave. He calls the nurse that was going to proctor not to sign off on anything or he would fire her and that he didn't have time to deal with my mom and there was nothing she could do about it. I guess the nurse said something to the friend, so she went back to the guy and asked why he was doing this.

So later that day he calls my mom and says he would look this stuff over tonight and sign off on it tonight. She asked if she could pick the stuff up in the morning. If she doesn't get the stuff in the morning she will be dropped from her program and lose her job.

My husband says contact a lawyer if she loses her job over this. What do you think?

Made it a bit easier for everyone to read. Paragraphs are your friend on something like this!

Sure sounds like she is getting the run around and I would contact a lawyer "just in case" to have them standing by if needed...
