I don't trust/talk to my supervisor at all

I remember your last post.. Sounds like it is time to find a new job. If you can't trust him/her or be professional enough to do your job or say hi, it is time to go.. Things can go very bad quickly.

This is true. The impetus to leave my last job, where I was a supervisor/manager, was a similar situation as your's. My higher up had something going on with him. I believe it was psychological since he passed a drug test, and I'm going to spare the readers what I think and why. However, his behavior was often irrational, suspicious, and he was largely rather aloof and detached from what was going on around him. His ability to remember also waned. It got worse over time, and he started throwing all of his responsbilities onto me and my lateral. We'd get email forwards from him with emails he'd received from the capitol weeks or sometimes months before with project due dates due the next day or later that afternoon. Over time I turned him for misconduct, and he got in quite a bit of trouble but wasn't terminated. His behavior, however, got worse and for those of us on-site it was identifiable, but because he rarely ever saw his higher ups he was able to hide it. I began looking for elsewhere to go, and in some respects had gotten tired of the job that I had so finally eight months later I left and took a job with a city agency at the bottom of the totem pole. I miss admin, but I like going to work without being responsible for anything.

At any rate, I can attest to what the above poster stated. It's time to find a new job. Start looking NOW before things get worse for you.

Go with your inner voice, if you're suspicious, there's a reason for it, even if you can't put a finger on it immediately. Don't over-rationalize it.

Be courteous though... as much,as you can.

Sounds like alot of anger in you post. More than finding a new job, you may need anger management classes, as you should not be internalizing this so much that it is affecting your job, patient care and maybe your home life.

...because she is an *******/snitch of administration.

I don't get this idea of "snitch".

Seems to me that if you're doing what you're suppose to there

would be no conflict. What you're really saying is that your boss/

supervisor is doing what they are responsible for and doing their job!

I'm scared of people that circumvent policy/procedure and do things

"their way" and get bent out of shape when admin calls you on it.

Don't know the entire story here but managers actually have to "manage".

You're either getting a raw deal or you're a bad employee. I travel now

because I don't like institution politics either but supervisors have to do their jobs.

I might look into the way you approach your practice and reevaluate things.

Take it for what it's worth. Just my .

with no more details than you posted-- My only thought is -isn't that her job?? The supervisor is paid to supervise and report problems, concerns and issues to thier superiors. I know they also have the responsibility to coordinate care across departments and manage resources in the care center but "supervisor" indicates observation and reporting/documentation for quality control. I'm not saying you are, but if there was a nurse who was providing unsafe care it is the supervisor's role to note this and refer the problem to management for an action plan to ensure safe practice.

There are reasons why I have disliked some of my supervisory staff, poor resource management that endangered me and my patients, unfair distribution of staff, poor follow-up when asking for support... But if there is a care giver not pulling thier weight- I expect the supervisor to deal with the problem-that's thier job-not mine.

He probably is not wrong in his suspicions. I have a newbie supe that is so paranoid about "doing the right thing" that he has hauled 5 people into HR for trivial stuff that should have started and ended with a quick conversation in his office.
