I'm currently in the process of applying for new grad RN jobs. I just never know how to answer this question on job applications; especially for giant, national healthcare systems. For context, I have been fired from three jobs: The first was a unit secretary job that I had for 4 years. I was fired back in 2019 for attendance issues. I should have communicated my needs to my supervisors, as I was very deep into a depressive episode. I can't leave this job off applications. It's like the only thing that makes me look competitive. One was in 2021, I had worked there for a month and I did not get along with the head veterinarian at a cat hospital. The most recent termination was from a monitor tech job in 2022. I was let go for too many call-ins during my probationary period. It was my fault, I overloaded myself with school and a long commute. I have had exemplary attendance at my all my jobs since then and in my nursing program. I get along with all my classmates, faculty members, coworkers and supervisors. I have matured a lot in the last few years. If I select "yes": they may instantly filter me out -- permanently, assuming that the answers to these job applications for these giant health systems stays across multiple positions in multiple hospitals. Because of that, if I initially select "yes" and I never get any calls/bites/interview offers, then decide to start saying "no" on applications for the same health system, would that not flag me? If I select "no": they may call past employers who may tell them I'm not eligible for rehire. Plus it's dishonest, and that is extra bad in nursing. I want to be honest, and I don't mind sharing the reasons for termination with a potential employer. I accept responsibility for my terminations, and I am a different person now. But I don't want to ruin my chances of getting hired. What should I put? "Yes" or "no"?   submitted by   /u/earwighoney [link]   [comments]
