Reverification of Educational Background

So I just had my yearly evaluation and I had a good evaluation. It was my first evaluation after being on the job for 6 months. At the end of my evaluation my manager made me sign a document allowing my employer to do a reverification of my educational background. I asked her why do I have to have my credentials rechecked if they did this before I got hired. She said it is protocol for all new workers after their first evaluation. I didn't think anything of it and signed the paper.

When I got home I started thinking about how odd it is for a hospital who has a professional HR team that does a thorough background check on every single employee before they hire them to spend additional money rechecking their background again. Maybe I'm looking too deep into this but I find it insulting. It feels as if they are questioning my credibility as a RN. I got my BSN the traditional route at a public university.

Did anybody else have their educational background rechecked after getting hired?

    They probably lost your transcripts. I have seen employers make unusual requests when they are expecting a 'visit' that may check into employees credentials to make sure everything is as it should be. Just a thought.....

    You're right. I talked to HR about it. It's to make sure they have everything on file if they don't already or lost it.
