Worth asking

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

  • What should I expect for weekend, holiday, and rotation?
  • What orientation, preceptor time, and ongoing unit support are included?
  • How are patient load and staffing support handled day to day?
