This is one question that may deserve a counter-question and clarification. Clarify what they mean by rotating shifts. Does it mean all three shifts? Is there any consistency in the schedule? It is important to be clear about what you can reasonably expect from the scheduling. As appealing as the job may be, you won't last long if it doesn't work for your life. It's great to be enthusiastic and accommodating, but clarity is your power in this scenario so ask the questions. Interviewers appreciate direct and honest answers.

"Can you clarify exactly what this means in your organization? I am excited about the possibility of working here, but the consistency of scheduling is very important to me as I have other responsibilities as well. I feel that I work best with a consistent schedule and also that I have the opportunity to learn my duties and my patients better. Of course, I would be more than willing to be flexible when possible, but I prefer and require a consistent schedule. If the shifts are rotating every two weeks from day to evening or day to night, that is possible but it would be difficult if it varies wildly from week to week."
