News News!
I suppose its been quite a while since a post, oops! I almost forget about this thing. Anyway, I started my job at BHN on June 2nd and it has been great so far (almost). This is the story, I split my time between two clinics, 3 days a week at 1 and 2 days at the other. I was hired to work in the Pasos program which is where I spend most of my days. I absolutely love it there. I love my co-workers and my supervisior, who is extremely supportive. To be honest I hate leaving there on Wednesday evening knowing I won't be back until Monday. The other clinic is Mt Tom and I am there Thursday and Friday. In the beginning things were ok, but then they started assigning me clients who were like 4-5 years old. I told them please give me young adults or adults because that is the population I feel most comfortable with. They agreed that was fine and they would transfer my cases to another therapist. It is now July 3rd and one out of like 6 of the cases has been transferred. I had to deal with an upset parent today because her initial appt was on June 6th and she has not been seen since that. She told me "this is so unprofessional". I agree. WTF! It makes me look bad because this person is on my caseload and it has been close to a month with no contact. I have told them numerous times to please transfer the cases because these people have appts coming up. So the mother shows up for her scheduled appt on June 20th and waits 40 minutes in the waiting room because no one is here to help her. To top it off the front desk never even told me that she showed up! Again, WTF! I am doing my best to be positive, but it is so difficult when you go from one clinic where your expectations are exceeded and then I show up here and everyone is so unresponsive and unsupportive. I just don't understand it. I am going into private practice ASAP.
In other news, I am glad summer is upon us. I don't have much planned since I just started a new job and I have zilch vacation time. However, I did go to Six Flags New Jersey with Jon and we stayed overnight. That was fun. I am going to the beach this weekend with Kristen and hopefully another few trips to the beach, NY and Vermont. Should be good! I want to plan a trip to Disneyworld for my first vaca if I can get the money together. I have never been (Jon hasn't either) and you can get some really good package deals. Best way to go since airfare is sooo expensive now a days.
I should be going. I am at work and my lunch is ending soon. Thank God today is my Friday.
