What to ask
- How is base pay set for the role, and which differentials apply?
- Which shifts are open, and what are the weekend, holiday and call rules?
- How long is orientation, and will I have one preceptor?
- What is the usual patient load, and how often do nurses float?
Living in Alpine, CA
Alpine is foothill San Diego County: you'll drive I-8 west toward El Cajon and San Diego, so test your actual shift commute, and weigh wildfire risk when house hunting. Alpine Heights has mature oaks and big lots, Rancho Palo Verde has horse property, and the village core along Alpine Boulevard keeps shops and schools close. Expect quiet evenings.

At clinical, ask what you can help with instead of waiting in the hallway. Check with your instructor before trying an unfamiliar skill.
