Recently reinstated, offer rescinded.
Hi all, not sure if this is the proper place, but wanted to get some feedback. I had my Arkansas RN license reinstated in last October, after voluntarily surrendering in 2021. Finding an employer willing to give me a chance has been terrible, but it finally happened, I thought. I went through interviews, met the team, got an offer. I disclosed my current situation and the remaining time on my probationary period. This process started in mid April, I had a start date of May 18th. On April 29th, the person hiring me called and we discussed my expired license, which just needed to be activated. That’s the date I know they actually started looking into my history and the status of my license, even though they should have way before that. By April 29th, an offer had already been signed and a start date set. Fast forward, my license is activated and everything is all good. I double and triple checked with my contact and the person from HR that I had been working with. The person hiring me was giving me all this “everybody deserves a second chance” blah blah we want to help you get re-established in nursing blah blah this is the perfect role blah. It was case management and it was the perfect role. On May 13th, she sends me a text saying she had a scheduled a meeting with my case manager at the nursing board, to make sure we covered all of the terms of my probation and got everything submitted that was needed. Later that day, she calls me and tells me they can’t move forward with the offer, because the compliance team shut it down. They had told me and encouraged me to quit my job at the end of April. I completed the background check, drug test, everything they needed and was just waiting for my start date. My last day of work at my old job, was May 1st, because my original start date was May 4th, but the nursing board is horrific and it took them 3 weeks to renew my license. Do I have a case for anything legal or civil or whatever? This can’t be right. They got me to quit my job, told me everything was all checked out, and that they would be involved in every aspect of my probation. How can they just toss me out like trash? Is there anything here for me to look into with the labor board or any organization that could help? Any help or advice is appreciated. Thank you.
