re:due process and reemployment

hello,

I resigned from my job as a respiratory therapist in February. I did so in lieu of being terminated.I was going to be fired for documenting therapy I was sure I had given,but as it turned out it had not been done.
As a result of this a complaint was filed with my state board [KY] .The board did not have discussion about the matter until April 12 of this year.To date I am still waiting for paperwork that will outline an agreed order that includes suspension of my license for three months.The three month period will not start until I receive and sign the order and send it back to them to be signed. In the meantime I have not sought reemployment as a respiratory therapist and will not be able to do so until the three months is up,I do not feel I am getting due process and I would like to know if I have any legal recourse as far as the money lost while I am bound and gagged by red tape.

I have consulted an attorney who tells me I need to be patient at least until mid month . He said if I did not receive documents by that time to start being the squeaky wheel. I have spoken to the people at the board who can only tell me that the board attorney is quite busy and serves on a dozen other boards and commissions. I do not feel my best interests are being served and I would like some feedback. Thank you.

You do have the right to a prompt determination. Tell your lawyer to demand or at least request a timetable--or indeed you may sue for damages and lost income.

BTW--I am sure WLD's Board lawyers could intervene and push it along as well if need be.

Thanks to randalljd for replying to my inquiry. What would be the process to get WLD involved in my case? I truly appreciate your help. The board attorneys name is Cheryl Lalonde AAG. Her E-mail address is :cheryl.lalonde@ag.ky.gov.,phone number:502 696 5603
