Does clinical rotation at facility count as a being a previous temp employee/volunteer?

Hi,

I am a new grad and filling out many job applications but I keep getting confused whether or not I am filling out the applications correctly. I am applying to many facilities I completed clinical at and on many of the job applications they ask you to check-off whether or not you "

currently or have you ever worked for facility or its affiliates as a volunteer, independent contractor or temporary employee through a staffing agency?" Normally I would put NO [COLOR=#44464b]because[/COLOR] of course I was not considered an employee, however I am worried if I put no, and my name is searched in the system, I will come up as having been in the system. I do not want to limit my chances of employment if it looks like I omitted my previous affiliation with them, but also do not want to put YES and make it look like I was an employee/volunteer when in fact I was not. Confused!!

Thank you in advance!

    They wouldn't be looking for your name in their "clinical" system, but rather their human resources database. You shouldn't worry about getting in trouble for answering correctly. ("No").

    No, that was not an "employment" or "volunteer" situation, it was a learning partnership. Clinicals don't count as those, nor do they count for "experience".

    Exciting time for you! Good luck!

    Clinicals do not count as employment or volunteering at the facility. You had no formal connection to the facility. The correct answer is "No."
