No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

Yorker · Aug 8, 2017

Well Said!!!! Jenn17 BSN.I am really surprised by some comments from fellow nurses and I understand everyone has their own opinions but , come on. I read someone writing that the employer is not responsible for making working conditions better but nurses are, seriously.

Yes, we have to make the most of the opportunities we are presented not when one feels the situations are so unsafe that it may affect their license.

Things like this makes me very upset about the way the nursing job market is. The employers have all the right to abuse their power but nurses cannot make a decision. This happens because there is no strong voice for nurses and this does not happen in every state.

I agree that everyone has to work hard to be entitled for employment and that's fair , there is no right for employment , I get it. But my point here is that you cannot just label anyone not eligible for rehire unless there is a serious error/ warning or anything like that. That means just because management/recruiter doesn't like someone they can be listed as not eligible for rehire.

An employer can do any darn thing they please

Making hiring decisions does not constitute "abuse of power."

Well....the two certainly are not, by definition, mutually exclusive.

This post is very confusing as the story keeps changing throughout. Just because you "heard" a person was listed a do not hire over an interview does not mean it to be true. Don't listen to rumors. Get the facts.

Have you or have you not been listed as a do not rehire? I read you have, it's a hypothetical situation, you heard a rumor from some girl, or you really don't know. I would assume that if you left the job early on you would be listed that way.

Your unsafe working conditions? Do you know how many times I go into work and have an unstable patient paired with another? Yes, it's busy. Yes, you have to prioritize, but it's not like you had two unstables circling the drain. Yes, climbers are a pain to have, but there are interventions you can take to do your best to keep them in bed. You can't keep all in though. And if your other patient is that unstable that you are unable to leave the room, your other teammates or charge can come and back you up with the climber. Just saying that's unsafe and throwing your hands up in the air and quitting is not the answer to me. There are lots of situations that I can see are "unsafe". Your example doesn't qualify.

You are so all over the place in this post it's hard to believe at all what you are posting. It seems to me you quit, got deemed a no rehire, and think it's unfair. You gotta suck it up and find a new job. When asked about your previous employment, be upfront and say you didn't feel it was a good fit. Simple.

This is rude but anyways that was one of the situations I had explained . I don't think so you are following the posts here but one of the members here had posted that even after working for a good amount of time in her facility and serving the notice plus one week extra to train a new nurse she was listed as no rehire by the HR Manager. She had quitted because the raise was not good. I personally am not listed as no rehire and what I heard is not a rumor. What I am trying to make a point here is that the nurses don't have a strong voice/association to stand up to these things. This does not happen everywhere and it happens because we let them happen.

Yes, this happens everywhere, in every career, in every job arena. This is not some evil plot of healthcare management against nurses. It is not unethical, immoral or even weird. If you disappoint your employer and you are separated from them by termination or resignation they have every right to say they don't want to hire you back.

And for the love of everything holy would you please use the quote button so we know to whom you are responding.

Thanks for pointing the quote button out. It becomes evil when they start misusing this power. They start deeming nurses not eligible just because they had hurt their ego. All right, even if they do that but don't blacklist them so that they cannot find a job anywhere else.

Adding to this post, I have worked in two different states and there has to be something very extreme for a nurse to be blacklisted.

Yorker, they don't publish these things!! The point isn't to prevent people from finding ANY other job. The reason they have them is so that, as an organization, they can prevent re-hiring someone that they didn't feel worked out for them. It has nothing to do with ego. It is their right. Just as it is your right to walk away from a job that doesn't work for you. How would you feel if you were told that you weren't allowed to leave an employer until they said you could? Pretty sure you wouldn't be too happy. Ask people who have contractual obligations they couldn't get out of.

Its very easy to say that there are interventions to keep the pt. safe then why didn't u use it, sounds like someone from management. To throw more light , there was only one more staff nurse with me who had two vented pts completely on two different corners. Charge nurse was helping one of her pts. No tech. Called the supervisor but she was busy on the floor. There was no one ready to come to work, couldn't get help from techs on the other floor.
