The workplace
You would be looking at a Pre-Op/PACU RN role posted as PRN (per-diem). You would live in a metro with no state income tax and housing that still undercuts most big U.S. cities, if you accept car-and-traffic life.
Your fit
Questions to ask
- Can you walk me through base pay range and differentials?
- What should I expect for shifts, weekly hours, weekend, holiday, call, and rotation?
- What orientation, preceptor time, and ongoing unit support are included?
- How are patient load, floating, and staffing support handled day to day?
