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?
• Which requirements must I meet before applying, and which can wait until after hire?
