"Yes, I am prepared to work a wide range of hours or a rotational nursing schedule. My family and I always plan family events and get-togethers around my work schedule. I like to offer flexibility, allowing family time for my colleagues who have small children or other responsibilities."

Being flexible with your time is always a plus for any hiring authority. However, many people have personal situations that require them to have a do-able schedule. Some LPNs prefer to work one regular shift, knowing what to expect daily. Be upfront with the interviewer regarding the hours that suit your preference. This honest approach will help prevent scheduling conflicts down the road.

"I am reasonably flexible with my schedule, at this time. If I had a choice, I would prefer the late shift, as I am a night owl. However, I am excited to be a part of this team and am willing to work any hours needed."
