HCA StaRN contract

Published

Hello, I'd like to open a discussion about HCA and the contract that they make you sign when you go through their residency program for nurses. I quit a month or so ago, and I got the letter where they are asking for the money back. I contacted a lawyer because I know of someone who got a out, talked to a lawyer and was not required to pay anything back. However, due to the coronavirus the lawyer is taking forever to get back to me (social distancing, doing everything through email and phone). Has anybody have experience with this and got out? I appreciate the help.

the StaRN contract feels more like you are trapped than anything, I have experience as an LVN, but was having trouble finding an RN job after applying to what seemed like everywhere with no call backs and I jumped at the first offer...and part of me wishes I would have waited.

I found out through HCA recovery program-that they charged me a relocation fee as well as the StaRN incompletion, I did not relocate. I was able to dispute that but “contract signer beware”. I have spoken to another colleague that is still there and she wishes that she didn’t do the program as well!!

I just got my letter and have no intention of paying the money.  Did it hit anyone’s credit over time?  Thanks!
