Worth asking
- Which differentials apply for this shift, unit, weekends, holidays, or call?
- Which shifts are open, and what are the weekends, holidays, call, and rotation requirements?
- What orientation, preceptor time, and ongoing unit support are included?
- What patient load should I expect, how is floating handled, and what staffing support is typical?
The posting doesn’t answer these. Good ones to ask a recruiter or in the interview.
