The nursing schedules can often be demanding and unpredictable as you may be asked to cover or be on call in case of a staff member call-out. Now is the time to clearly understand the expectations and discuss your flexibility and any challenges you may have. Be open and honest about your availability.

"As a new grad, I'm flexible with my scheduling and can pick up extra shifts and hours. I want to support the team and take advantage of additional hours and shifts that allow me to gain experience and increase my knowledge base. I'm also willing to float and work on different units as needed to gain more experience and train as much as possible."

"I noticed in the job description that the schedule is 32 hours per week with rotating weekends. I'm able to work the regular schedule and would be willing to pick up an extra shift a week to hit 40 hours. In my current role, I go on call every sixth weekend. Is your call schedule similar to that, or is it more frequent?"
