Background check? rehire eligibility

[alexlovesit]

Hi all! I am new here and I'm currently starting my first round of prereq science's for the RN program at my CC. I was looking at the application information and came across this disqualification list on the background check. That includes felonies, sex offender reg, etc. It also at the very end says "Ineligibility for rehire". This freaked me out. I left a job at 19, and was deemed "ineligible for rehire" when I left on short notice. I am 25 now. I also took a coffee shop job about 2 1/2 years ago, where I left, I put in my two weeks, but was still deemed not rehirable after that. My friend works for HR in that company and looked at my file and told me that its auto generated when someone quits. (don't ask me why this company does this, I really have no idea) So now I am freaked out. I am due to apply for the 2020 fall semester at my school, and now I feel like I don't know what to do. Can someone tell me if this "rehirable" status is about clinics/hospitals, or jobs in general? It says they "two standard 7 year employment verification reference searches" ??? Not even sure what that means. I googled a bunch of things, and at other colleges it says things like "unrehirable at the clinics we used you will be denied" so can someone help me ease my nerves? thanks in advance lol

That should certainly be talking about clinical/hospital rehiring, generally. The only exception in my mind would be if there was something criminal or truly problematic (like violence) that popped up in regards to why you are not eligible for rehire, but that doesn't sound like it is the case here. As it mentions in the description, much of the background check has to do with clinical placements. If one of the clinics the school has an agreement with was a place you could not work, they would be "stuck" and thus would not allow you to be a part of their program. As long as the ineligibility for rehire is not in a setting like that nor is it because of "wrongdoing" on your part, I personally wouldn't worry. You could email a nursing advisor at the college just to be absolutely certain and truly ease your nerves but at the university that I work, that would be the rationale for having that rehire component in there.
