Not rehirable

[KMULL002, BSN]

I resigned without giving the required month notice because my husband's job is taking us to another state.  I needed to sell my house and pack my things.  Prepare the fur babies.  Does not rehirable mean that I will not get the opportunity for employment or not be able to use my employer as a reference because of this?  Would a potential employer refuse to hire me due to this?  I am worried now and would like to know if anyone has any experience with this matter.  Other than me not being rehirable I have nothing on my record/file.  Concerned about the move and not being able to obtain employment in the new state.  We are moving to a rural area where there is ONE hospital in the area and that is where I want to work.  I left medical/surgical/orthopedic.  I have neuro certification.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.  I hope all is well with everyone here today.

I'm not sure what state you're in, in Texas 2 weeks is the 'required' notice unless you're on a contract. Did you give any notice at all? You might want to talk to someone in HR. 

As far as keeping you from getting another job, honestly, I don't think you'll have too much trouble. Explain why you didn't give full notice and cross your fingers.

I would definitely attempt to get that off your employment record. But if you violated their "policy" then they get to say that (and they will not likely clarify you are not rehirable because you did not give 2 weeks notice, as opposed to not being rehirable because you stole medications from the Pyxis).  Is this your only employer?

I was told that RNs were to give 30 days.

Hope you put in your resignation letter that you were terminating employment due to spouse's job  requiring moving to another state.  That should mitigate being listed as "not rehireable; lack of 1 month termination notice" in facility HR software.    You can still list this facility as a reference for proof of employment -- date of hire and termination would be provided to future employer.   Potential employer will easily see that you have moved to different state and will usualy snap up an experienced RN, especilaly if rural area.

Check out if your state provides  Unemployment for Spouse Relocation -- mine,  PA,  provides it! I learned when one of my married clerical staff moved to Las Vegas, NV for hubby's new job.

Twenty-three states, including Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming only recognize military transfers.

Twenty four other states recognize any kind of spousal job transfer, including but not limited to military.

To be eligible, the one must show that the reason for the spouse's relocation was beyond the spouse's control, and that such relocation created economic circumstances that could not be overcome or that it was economically impossible to maintain two residences.

To receive unemployment benefits, complete and submit a benefits application to your state department of labor available at each states website.     https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/contacts

Everywhere I’ve worked the policy on notice to be eligible for rehire is spelled out by HR and it’s always been 2 weeks where I’ve worked. I had a supervisor be really nasty to me for giving 3 when she wanted 4 because it was more “professional” but I was well within the facility’s policy and ended up getting rehired there to another unit without any problems.

[NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN]

Local health systems in SE PA have 4 weeks notice to be eligible for rehire.

As a Manager, I was lucky if I could get  a new employee in the door within 3 months despite me performing all the required interviews, credentialing and sending HR all the required new hire paperwork.

I am a little stuck that you needed a month to prepare your pets for a move ?

Most of my career was in SE PA and the hospitals I was at all had 2 week notice requirements to be eligible for rehire. That certainly could have changed since I worked at those places. Whenever I was job hunting employers also wanted new hires to start as soon as possible, often had specific on boarding dates. When factoring in having to balance losing old health insurance with new insurance wait periods, 4 weeks can be burdensome.

I appreciate that it takes much longer to replace a staff member who has left, but the balance of power in the relationship still largely rests with the employer. When an employer decides that the employment relationship isn't working for them, what notice are they expected to give?

Employers also have the option of agency use, maintaining a hospital float pool or staffing in a way that doesn't make an employee leaving devastating.

All nurses should be aware of your facilities Resignation policy; often covered during orientation/ new "on-boarding" process but rarely thought of during everything thrown at new employee

This is University of Pennsylvania's:

Quote

Resignation is a voluntary termination from the University with notice on the part of the staff member.

A non-exempt weekly-paid staff member is expected to give at least two (2) weeks notice. An exempt monthly-paid staff member is expected to give at least four (4) weeks notice. Notice should be in writing.

Not. I have to prepare and sell my house.  I was just thinking about my fur babies when posting. ?
