I was terminated from a NYS nursing job several months ago. The HR person told me that I was eligible for rehire. I was told I was coded “probation termination.”

I interviewed at another facility in the same agency and was told the interview went well and that I would be getting an offer, filled out paperwork, and then was told that they would not be moving forward. I asked the person who interviewed me if she knew anything, and she said she knew nothing of it, and was surprised the offer wasn’t going my way. I asked if she thought applying through a nursing agency might be different, and she said I could try that, and she gave me the name of the agency they used.

I applied through the agency and the agency told me they were setting up the applicants, and I got an interview time… only to have it cancelled.

I asked the agency if they could find out what happened. HR gave an evasive answer at first, and then I suggested what questions to ask, and the agency then told me they believe I am marked Do Not Rehire, and that’s all the information they can provide. If I was to take the sentence literally, they were not 100% certain I was marked Do Not Rehire… but that could have been a kindness/softness.

I have read on Reddit that they don’t have Do Not Rehire lists for NYS. I was terminated for nothing sinister- it was personality differences. Could people here be possibly wrong, and these Do Not Rehire lists actually exist? Or could it be that the facility personally makes the decision not to hire anyone previously terminated?

Anyone have any knowledge?

Terminated from a job several months ago. Was told by another agency they wanted to offer me a job, even after knowing I was probation terminated. Then, I was told I am “not cleared through NYSTEP.” Does anyone know what that means? I was told I’m eligible for rehire. Exactly what information can show on your NYSTEP aside from dates, probation termination, title? Can NYSTEP actually block a system from hiring you? Are there polices in place that say (either officially or unofficially) that an individual must be off of state employment for at least a year (or two or three) before returning to state service after being terminated? Do evaluations get shared?
