What belongs in an honest preview of an RN role before you accept?

Asked by the editors

The question

Imagine you could ask for one page that shows the real shape of a unit before an interview. What would it need to cover—orientation, patient mix, scheduling, support, turnover, ratios, or something else—and which answers would change your decision?

What would you tell them?

Nobody has answered this one yet. Yours would be the first, and it posts without your name.

A person reads every answer before it appears — usually within a few days.
