The hard parts

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?
  • Where would I work, and on which unit or team?

From nurses, to nurses

Get to know the techs and CNAs, and help when you can. A shift feels different when you know you're looking out for each other.

On your coworkers

If you and your preceptor aren't clicking, talk to your manager. Ask for a different approach, or a different pairing.
