What nurses say

The hard parts

• Staff reviews split hard: med/surg nurses give top marks while long-term care and ICU staff give the lowest, and a former ICU nurse raised patient safety concerns even while calling the pay good.

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 does a usual day’s workload look like?
• Which requirements must I meet before applying, and which can wait until after hire?
