Hello, so I am a new grad and I am in the process of finding and accepting a new nursing job and I was scouted for a staffing agency for a hospital in the area that I am trying to work in. In order to even talk with someone from the hospital I had to fill out all the paper work, get a physical, drug test, and tb test. Finally after two weeks I got a call to interview at the hospital but I got offered a job else where and turned it down. After messaging the guy about not accepting the job, he never messaged me back, sent a letter to my parents home address (after all the paper work I filled out had my current address on it) of a bill for the testing. I messaged him asking for my paperwork that I signed because I did not read anywhere that I had to pay for it without going through with it but the only reason I went through with a physical was because he told me I had to in order to be able to talk with someone at the hospital.
Is is it a normal thing to go through the hiring process, deny a job, and have to pay back the amount for the physical, blood work, and testing??
