The posting said days. The offer says nights and I'm told that's normal
Morgan reading offersThe question
Applied to a day position. Interviewed for a day position, on a unit where the manager talked about the day team for twenty minutes. The letter came Tuesday and it says nights, under a line about shift assignment being subject to unit need.
I asked. The answer was that new grads start on nights and move up as spots open, which is a reasonable thing to do and appeared in none of the earlier conversations.
Two things I want. Is there a question I could have asked that would have surfaced this before the letter? And when somebody says you'll move up as spots open, has anyone got a place on the waitlist for days in writing, and did it hold?

Same thing happened to me, I took it, and nights turned out to be the better place to learn, so I'm no cautionary tale.
The question that would have surfaced it: which shift is this requisition posted for, and how many people are on days ahead of me for the next opening. The second half gets you a number, and people will give you a number when they won't give you a timeline.
Mine was four. Ten months on, three of them are still there.
- Emerson asking about payRN, a year in, always asks the number
Get the shift written into the letter as its own line, and ask what the differential is while you're in there, because if you're going to nights you should be paid for nights from shift one. Payroll doesn't catch that on its own.
Mine was coded wrong for two pay periods. I got it back, and the reason it took one email instead of a month is that the shift was on the page.
What would you tell them?
Answer from what you have seen. It posts without your name.
