registry requesting access to my medical files

Nurses Activism

Hi,

A registry I was applying for online emailed me a bunch of forms to sign and I was taken aback by one of them. It was a medical release form for my medical records! The form also requested my doctors name, phone number and address. I understand a new employer requesting a physical, ppd, and immunization forms, but I feel like this is an invasion of privacy. I asked the human resource director at another agency I work for his opinion. He stated it doesn't sound kosher and I shouldn't sign.

What are your thoughts?

THANKS

Hi everyone, I'm going to follow your advice and not going to work for that agency...........no matter how desperate I am ( which I am).

Thanks
