The problem here is that work-related references are useless, all they will tell you is that a potential employee worked for them from this date to that date…the legal system protects more than just the good guys.

@RachLv While I do agree with your statement I have to add that slipping through just doesn’t cut it here. She didn’t slip through 1 place, she slipped through multiple places. How can this be? With the modern age we live in having everything tied together through digital files there really is no excuse for someone to be able to “slip through” especially in the health arena.

Sometimes these hospitals are so strapped to finding workers that people slip through. It happens much more than we realize, it’s just most of them don’t start a serious outbreak of disease.

It really does seem pretty crazy that so many places did such bad jobs screening new employees. Just lying got her through. At least they finally got suspicious at Rose.

Maybe this lady could be a medical experiment guinea pig for drug trials since she enjoys needles. Something positive from a negative!

Can’t believe an employer didn’t catch her sooner. 2000-approximately 2010 is a long time to hide an addiction. Where were the supervisor reviews, co-workers, friends and family during this time frame? Don’t understand how even the best liar could fill the gaps and rational for leaving past jobs during interview process. Doesn’t say much for the facilities that employed this lady. Even the small private hospital I am employed at has a long(couple months) orientation/preceptor program before any nurse/tech is turned loose to care for patients alone. People that knowingly infect or potentially infect others should be imprisioned and pay restitution to parties involved. GRRR
