Psych says being a crook does not disqualify him for his current job

A psychologist reprimanded and suspended by New Jersey’s Board of Psychological Examiners for a litany of offenses still managed to get a job as director of Trenton’s state-funded heroin detox center. State officials expressed concern over the appointment of Dr. Luis R. Nieves,who was hired by the New Horizon Treatment Center on Perry Street in January 2001 while still under the requirements of a three-year suspension that kicked off in May 1998. According to state records obtained by The Trentonian, Nieves was fined more than $20,000 after being found guilty on 10 counts of professional misconduct and negligence. Nieves insists that the decision by the Board of Psychological Examiners, and his subsequent suspension, have no bearing on his ability to carry out his duties in his current position. "It does not in any way," Nieves insisted.

As seen in the original report for the original offenses:

"His conduct clearly was unprofessional and unethical in that his exploitation of the services of (employees) and his subsequent abandonment and retaliation against at least one demonstrates to the board that Nieves’ sole motivation was for his own personal financial benefit"

I feel so much better now. (not)
