I about to graduate and all these people are freaking me out about group one. I know its a background/employment check thing. And I have been told that if I have never been terminated from a DFW hospital, then I am okay. Then, why is there this big deal about how all terminations are reported to Group One. SO you have to put ALL of your jobs down in your application. Does that mean that if I walked out on my job at a chilis after two days bc it was two much for me to handle, I am on group one list and I won't be able to be a nurse? I'm sure I wasn't thinking about that when I was 20 years old yah know. Does anyone know about Group one? Am I not going to get a job because I walked out of my restauarant job years ago??????????
As for nurses just laying down and taking it - I'm not saying at all that we have to TAKE anything - quite the contrary - they (GO) are banking on the fact that most of us are not aware of the FCRA and don't know how to use it, THAT is what nurses in this area need to learn - how to fight fire with fire - not just hire atty's (probably in cahoots with the whole scham) or give up (what GO is betting most will do)
I don't think what they do is entirely legal - they have found a really sleazy loophole in the law - but they get away with it because WE LET THEM.
