Hello I have a question, I am a new nurse graduated last year, before I did my NCLEX I was hired by an hospital which I am contracted with so I am a scholarship recipient, I could not work with them because I didn't have my license yet so I had ask the manager two different times to give me some time to get my license and she agreed,the requirements was to present my license Jan 3 but I did my NCLEX Jan 8 so they canceled my position.
I finally passed my NCLEX in January 8, so I then spoke to my coordinator and she said she'll tell me when they're recruiting the next cohort first she said April then canceled then they said May then canceled then June then canceled finally in July I had an interview but wasn't chosen she said I had to pay back the money so I made a complaint to their headquarters and they reach out and they add me to the fellowship program I did another interview still wasn't chosen, she finally stated again that I have to repay the scholarship now I haven't work for one year because I have a 2 year contract with this hospital and she did specify that if I don't work the two years with them I have to pay them back so I was stuck between two rocks, now they didn't hire me, I can't get any job because they stated I have no experience, I did read the contract and it started if I am not employed within 60 days it should be waived I need some advice what to do.
