No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

Published

Can I ask everyone which hospitals in Dallas have the practice of labelling their employees as No rehire?

If there is no offence on the part of the employee and they served their notice period but left the organization before 6 months , can they still do that?

(Deleted an already answered question. Nothing to see. Carry on~).

So you wrote ...there was no "serious error or warning." But for some reason it sounds like you did something and you're not telling, us, the readers. So something's missing here.

I say, if an employee is great and has had made a positive impression, I think, even if this person resigns in less than 6 months from the time he or she was hired and is now considering to return to the same employer or any of its affiliates/sister company, this person should not have difficulty getting hired as long as they have a clean "record and/or reputation."

If they label you as "Not Eligible for Re-Hire".... you must have done it to yourself.

Question is, how were the rest of your co-workers treated you--- and vice-versa---how were you to them?

I agree that everyone has to work hard to be entitled for employment and that's fair , there is no right for employment , I get it. But my point here is that you cannot just label anyone not eligible for rehire unless there is a serious error/ warning or anything like that. That means just because management/recruiter doesn't like someone they can be listed as not eligible for rehire.

I agree that the hospitals spend a lot of money in orientation and training. Although the employee's track record is clean and highly appreciated and the employee left not because of a new offer but because of unsafe working conditions there should be no policy of "no rehire". If the hospitals spend the money on orientation they should also know to retain the good people rather than just labelling someone.

Yorker, I am at a loss in trying to understand what happened and why. Could you maybe start at the beginning and explain a little more about the situation so I can follow you. Thanks.

I am not trying to make it personal, as I had already mentioned in the previous posts that there was no communication about the policies or even employee handbook. Proper notice was given and served. It sounds a monopoly /dictatorship that the employers are misusing now because the nurses don't have a good back up.

Employers can label anyone "not eligible for rehire" but my thing is this gives them an upper hand and the nurses have to suffer in bad working conditions in fear in the meantime the employers stretch them like rubberbands until they break.

You have just described modern Nursing.

And my question is whether your assertion will continue to hold true over the next ?5-10 years. I guess only time will tell. People seem fairly unconcerned.

That's exactly my point is that the employers/recruiters are labeling employees "not eligible for rehire" based on the time period they worked or if they had a bad interview and that's absurd. This is not helping the working conditions of nurses. They are allowed so that the nurses can be scared to death and take the torture.

I continue to believe that you are not getting the point. You have some opinions that can be viewed as an unreasonable sense of entitlement.

Of COURSE a nurse's rehire status is based upon their work history or their interview. Why would an employer be motivated to rehire an employee whose work history was not positive?

News flash: Employers are not, as a general rule, seeking to improve the working conditions of nurses. We are, all of us, on our own. How anyone expects otherwise is baffling to me.

I completely agree with this post and am so very glad someone was able to articulate what I have been thinking for a long time. In any other sector would it be appropriate for new employees to repay their employer for their training if after 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, year and a half if they decided to leave because it wasn't a good fit? Or because they have internal problems that lead to unsafe and or unhappy employees/patients? Nurses take this because this is the way it is. It's ridiculous. Onboarding, training etc are hiring expenses companies around the globe spend big money on. Keeping an employee is not always possible, for a variety of reasons, but somehow hospitals have figured out how to better capture their prey, and keep them there. How to pass along their cost of hiring and training to the employee. So many snarky commenters on here insinuating this must be a new nurse who just wants to have things her way, is ungrateful or lying about her reasons for leaving. This is nursing cannabolism at its best. This is why nurses need to have united power to help change predatory hiring practices like this. Where I live there is no signing bonus, there are just 2 year full time contracts that state you will repay their orienting expenses without 2 year full time employment. If life circumstances dictate you can only work part time, they extend the contract or you pay them. How can this seem like it should be accepted by anyone? Things need to change. No one has the right to be employed it's true and companies do have the right to hire whoever they want. But that doesn't mean that nurses should continue to accept hiring practices that are contrary to their best interest or that can potentially hurt them financially and employment wise in the future.

The hospital network does not have to use the same criteria for putting someone in the list of Do Not Rehire. And there are a variety of reasons or causes they can use to identify someone that falls under that list.

I guess the only way to know is that you don't get hired and find difficulty in finding another position.

Its anything and an example I remember was an individual who was a little angry at a situation and did not want to come back. However, this individual forgot that they mentioned that they were quitting. So guess what? The person forgot about saying that to someone or that an email was sent, it ended up that they got terminated. Management decided to not rehire even though all was said in anger. Another example is someone on social media and posting a comment that really should not have been put up. One of the staffing personnel... I personally think this was very petty, but this is how it went down. This staffing personnel reported this individual to management for what was posted and ultimately, the person lost their job. From one side of the perspective, I do not think that person should have posted that comment whether it was true or not. It led to the setup of getting terminated, but how safe is it to add your co workers on social media? How well do you know them and can you trust them? I don't think this person saw that was going to happen and it is unfortunate because their work was really good. However that post just took over the good work ethic this individual had. It didn't matter how good the person worked or not, and attention was drawn on that social media post.

All I am saying is there are a lot of factors into putting a person into Do Not Rehire list. It could be someone who is late all the time or calls in sick a lot, someone who is difficult to work with and causes problems, etc.

You had an opportunity- you walked away from it. Equal opportunity does not mean freedom from consequences.

^^^My sentiments exactly.. We have to make the most of the opportunities we are presented, WHEN they are presented..

If a company doesn't want to HIRE you, why would you want to work for them. For all I know all large organizations/corporation's have a "no rehire" policy. I left my LVN position in the nursing home because they only gave me $1.5 an hr raise. The manager/HR took it as an insult and put me in as a no rehire. I came to find out 2 years later when I applied at a different nursing home own by the same company. The 2 week notice and extra week to train the new nurse dont count. It's "her" word against mine and guess what, she quit. I can "appeal" blah blah blah but what's the point.
