Worth asking

  • Which shifts are open, and what are the weekend, holiday, call, and rotation requirements?
  • What orientation, preceptor time, and ongoing unit support are included?
  • How are patient load, floating, and staffing support handled day to day?

The posting doesn’t answer these. Good ones to ask a recruiter or in the interview.
