So true in my field at one time I was a Director of Nursing in a nursing home did all the hiring and firing of nurses and had to call many states for references. Some would only give dates worked there. One place at one time said this is confidential only by work the person in question is suffering from a severe form of mental illness and no I don't recommend them at all wouldn't hire them. It was not depression something very serious and this person was not on their meds and I'd already let them start stupid me as they were doing very strange things like trying to wash a patient in a sink. It was extremely difficult to unhire the person. The Administrator and myself had to say we had too many employees and must cut down with the last to be hired to be let go first. I learned a very valuable lesson. If short staffed check the references first. And in your case don't think this applies at all in anyway what so ever. Phillipa
