You miss my point. That is what your brother asks, not what he is or is not legally allowed to say. There are companies, especially government agencies, who are not permitted by their agency/company to do more than confirm employment dates and rehire eligibility -- that is not the same as what is permitted under the law.

I'll see if I can find a source.

Ohiocleveland. I looked on the state's registry and I don't have any employers on it. I am still on the registry though. I'm thinking of calling the State's registry and asking them if there are any employees that have their name listed under my employment, because I don't see any. I also don't remember when they implemented this task of putting employers on the CNA's registry history.

Dolcevita. That webpage wasn't found

Ya'll I'm thinking that I shouldn't put it down only because the time I spoke with my employer she asked me a couple of questions like, "Did you contact anyone and told them you were not going to be able to make your shift?" things like that. She also said, "I know that you are not like that." She was referring to me being missing a shift. Something else that I will do is to contact the most recent employer that I applied to, the one that I was so sure was going to hire me because they were hiring and they were in desparate need for CNAs.

Any more advice?

In Ohio, when a STNA goes to work it is reported to the Ohio Department of Health, each employer must report it to the registry. I'm not sure about your state sorry for the missup

LOL...i know this sounds horrible.but I had my Aunt call an old company for me to see what they say. She works in HR..and she just pretented like she was doing a reference check and let me know what they said. Hey I dont apologize for it. We are all human. People, especially when they are young make mistakes. Im sure that mannnnny many people have been fired for a job for something silly at one time or another...does that mean that we cant learn from our mistakes or should be excluded from employment forever becasue of this? I say do what you got to do.
