Question about being rehirable (HCA)

Published

Greetings! I am in my Senior year of my BSN and looking towards my job search. I have a question. Back in 2008, when I was 22, I worked as a patient registrar for an HCA facility. I experienced discrimination from my shift manager and instead of following up with HR and covering my you-know -what, I abandoned the position.

Fast-forward to present day and I am itching to move back home after finishing nursing school. The only problem is the area that I am from is mostly HCA facilities. I am wondering if anyone has any insight as to the re-hiring policy with HCA?

Obviously, hindsight is 20/20 and if I had understood just how vast HCA's hold on the hospital market is (or even thought I would actually be a nurse) I would have made a different decision. I honestly felt that going to HR would do no good.

Thanks!

Many do not rehires are time limited unless it's for fighting, stealing, abusing a patient, etc.

8 years is a long time, so I'd say go ahead and give it a shot.

At my organization (not HCA) when an employee terms for whatever reason the manager determines whether or not that employee could be considered for rehire. I do not know if this is how HCA practices.

But it's worth a try and if you did have negative marks in your employee file maybe they'll consider you now that you have your BSN.
