The hard parts
The pay figures come from job-board and social posts rather than a published wage scale, and the sign-on bonus applies only to select units, so ask which units qualify before you count on it.
What to ask
- How is base pay set for the role, and which differentials apply?
- When would a sign-on bonus have to be repaid?
- 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?
