So, I worked for a hospital that got taken over by Piedmont Healthcare. I worked there about 6 months after the Piedmont switch before I got another job closer to family. I gave a months notice, was in good standing as far as i know, with good performance reviews. I recently decided to go back to school, and did a background check and reference check before applying to programs (I'm naturally thorough/paranoid). The Piedmont HR confirmed my dates of employment, but declined to confirm either that I gave notice, or whether I was eligible for rehire. Does anyone know if this is their standard procedure? I'm particularly concerned because I may need to do clinicals at this facility as I pursue my advanced degree. Any advice?
