Group One

so if i have never worked for a group one facility does this mean that i don't have a file with them?

it is hard to say without asking them..

we are experienced professionals serving a client base of approximately 400 health care and community organizations, ranging from large health care systems and municipalities to small hospitals and staffing services. from our irving, texas, headquarters, we research applicants' backgrounds in all 50 states and canada. this year we will process over 400,000 requests for information.

clients can see instant employment and education verification information from a database of now over 500,000 records.

i have friends who have been reported to group1 for no good reason. one friend, a new grad, was hired for neuro icu, promised several months preceptorship. she was left on her own on her second day on the unit. she refused the assignment and invoked safe harbour. she was reported to group1. she has since been unable to get a job in dallas- she almost lost her house. she has now left texas, got a job and is doing fine.

i know of another nurse who got a traffic ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. her employer found out and reported her to group1 for failure to disclose her "criminal record."

i know of a nurse who was threatened by her manager: "i'll report you to group1!" for refusing overtime. any employer can report an nurse to group1 at their whim.

what ever happened to "i will report you to the sbon???"

under the fcra, employe"rs who furnish such information are immune from "any action or proceeding in the nature of defamation, invasion of privacy, or negligence . . . except as to false information furnished with malice or willful intent to injure" the former employee.

would be great to really attack this agency as a group. first off i would think any information on a nurse that this agency has and the state board of nursing doesn't have would be malicious and a willful intent in injure the former employee illegally. we ae a licensed profession not a hamberger slinger.

it would be great to legally distroy this agency as a group of professionals.

we are a licensed profession, not a group of hamberger slingers.
