Once you’ve landed that coveted phone interview, we’ll make sure you’re covered with a list of questions to choose from!

Here are the questions you can ask:

  • Does your unit frequently use travelers?
  • What is the staffing ratio of your unit?
  • Is floating required? If so do travel nurses float first or is it in rotation with your staff?
  • Is overtime available?
  • Is on call required?
  • How long is orientation?
  • Can you verify the shift for me?
  • What charting system do you use?
  • What is your break policy?
  • As a traveler will I ever be expected to act as Charge Nurse?

Did you get offered the job on the spot?! Here are some follow up questions:

  • What is the scrub color for your unit?
  • Can you confirm the orientation/start date?
  • Can you confirm you have my dates off as x-x?

Don’t forget to thank them for their time and let them know you look forward to meeting them in person soon!
