Help. Home Heath. Expired. new opportunity!!

[maegannn]

Going to try and make a long story short. I obtained my STNA license in June 2014. I worked for a home heath agency for about 6 months. To my knowledge I did not think my license was going to expire because I worked the 8 hours in the two day period as the Nurse Aid Registry requires. The home heath agency never put in the system that I did in fact work for them so... I called and asked if they could put my information in so I could be renewed. Since the last I worked there they have been bought out by another company so they are saying they will not be able to find my files to prove I did in fact work there. Does that sound right? Would my files just go away? Even if the new company has many of the same clients? Lastly I recently had an interview for a multi skilled tech because I also have my phlebotomy, Ekg ,CPR and First Aid certifications. With my STNA being expired is it going to keep me from getting this job? Even if I have all the other certifications and the interview went great?

My employment file must have disappeared when I was applying for licensure. Nobody told me until I inquired about the holdup. Later, after I got my license, I returned to work there and my immediate supervisor from the past did not remember me at all!

Dont you love how that works? Did you just go back through and take all the classes and state test again??

My situation was similar, but a little different. How I got through my situation was that I had more than "enough" stuff for my purpose, that I did not need the info from that particular employer. I think you should still pursue this. Don't you have your pay stubs? If so, then try to get a letter from the employer based upon seeing the pay stubs. Worth at least one more try to save some time and money.

I couldnt find any pay stubs ...I did find my my w2 but they said that wouldn't do me any good cause it does not show I did any personal care
