Hello.
I was due to begin working on a behavioral health unit for a hospital tomorrow. They contacted me Friday and informed me that, due to a misdemeanor DUI on my record, they could no longer continue the employment onboarding process. I communicated my DUI, my substance use disorder, and explained the role addiction has had in inspiring my pursuit of a career in mental health. I ensured this was addressed both in my application and in my interview.
In accepting the rescinded offer, I turned down four separate opportunities for employment.
I would appreciate any experience and advice that this community could offer.
Thank you.
