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

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Can I ask everyone which hospitals in Dallas have the practice of labelling their employees as No rehire?

If there is no offence on the part of the employee and they served their notice period but left the organization before 6 months , can they still do that?

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.

Wuzzie,

I agree don't rehire the nurse/ employee back again, that's fine. But why do they have to blacklist the nurses so that they cannot find a job anywhere else. Don't u think BON should be the mothership to find out if there is any disciplinary action against the nurse???

I'm not sure where you're getting your information from but there is no general blacklist for all prospective hiring managers to see. Again the purpose isn't to prevent a nurse from getting a job elsewhere it's to prevent a company accidentally re-hiring a problematic employee. The BON only cares about practice issues. They couldn't give a flying fig that someone is chronically tardy or calls off sick too often but you can be sure a company's HR department does. I'm not sure where your conspiracy theory is coming from. I was marked a "do not rehire" for really weak reasons yet I got a new job three days later even after they called my previous employer. Lots of people have. I'm sorry but you are really blowing this out of proportion and getting worked up over it. What you imagine happening just isn't.

I wish that was the case that I was blowing this out of proportion but unfortunately this is true that there is a list like this and this has been told by a recruiter.

Within an organization yes there will be this list. Otherwise how else will they know not to re-hire someone? But there is NO general list published for everyone to see. It doesn't exist.:banghead:

Here's a thought. Instead of being pissed off about this imaginary list why don't you just strive to not do something to get you on said "list".

How are you so sure that a list like this does not exist?????

This is not a published list that everyone can just come and see , come on now.

Thanks for the thought of the day.

Because if it did thousands upon thousands of nurses ( including myself) would be unable to find jobs.

Was the last line of your post intended to be snotty?

You think the HR depts of each hospital print a list of do not hire people and share it amongst each other? I work in a major city with 5 different hospital systems at least. With the way nurses around here hop from hospital to hospital, I can guarantee that does not exist. That would take a lot of time and effort.

I agree with PP, this is an imagined situation. Just focus on getting yourself a new job. Get your resume together and work on interview skills.

Wuzzie , I don't think you are getting the concept right. Yes, it s the company's right to decide to give the job to a particular candidate and no one owes a job. What I am trying to say is that , listing someone as "not eligible for rehire " without any concrete evidence gives the employer an upper hand and that gets misused .

And, at the end of the day it is what it is, we can whinge and moan about how unfair it may or may not be, but the employer can use it any way they please

Personally, I think it's petty and short sighted of the hospital. If she provided appropriate notice and there were no disciplinary issues then why is she no re hireable? Spending money to train staff is a calculated risk anytime. What happens in a few years she is highly trained and highly skilled.. they just lost an opportunity for a first class nurse. Who knows why she left, but unless there was something that said she had to stay 6 months she did nothing wrong.

If your DO-not-rehire status is preventing you from getting a job then you need to reach out to the manager who you worked for. In my first nursing job I had to resign after 6 months due to a family emergency. I was also unable to give proper notice. I was with this hospital for 3 years before becoming a nurse. When applying for a new job, I was honest that I didn't give notice. They asked for my permission to speak to my former manager. I texted my manager and she vouched for me even tho I was not rehireable as my only infraction was not giving proper notice. Although my situation was different and my former manager empathised with me. Further, she mentioned if I ever reapplied and I had a good new references she would reconsider taking the no rehire label off. Reach out to your manager and talk to her- if she's a human and you're honest with her andnlevel with her, she may reconsider.

Wow.... we're on our "10th page... LOL

I do want to say, if there is such a thing as "not for re-hire", it does sound unfair; But as a person (not just a manager) I would still help that RN or other people find a job. If or when I do get a call for a "Professional Reference" from an HR or Recruiter, I won't say anything negative about the people they are inquiring about - I always just follow our protocol: i.e. Provide time of employment and salary and if they ask or require more questions that I can not answer, I'd simply refer them to our HR.

They do need a job, we all will be working with someone's who's ****** or a jerk, as long as they are not endangering the lives of others, I'll give them a chance.
