How do you discuss your availability?

I am not sure if you mean you only want to work weekends or you don't want to work weekends. I personally have had a fairly easy time finding CNA jobs that allow me to only work weekends since no one else wants to do it. On the other hand, if you don't want to work weekends at all then that can be a problem. But if someone asks you about your availability you might as well just be honest with them...tell them what your outside obligations are and if they can't work with you, move on to the next interview.

Tell them that you're available on those days, but would prefer not to work all 3 every week, and that you're open to either working the same day every week or to change it up. It wouldn't hurt to tell them that you'd be willing to fill in per diem on the other days but you'd prefer to start slow.

Maybe you could check & see if you could every other weekend? Because that's what I work at my facility, also I work PRN through the week. good luck

Yea, just let them know your availability and tell them that you are looking to work one shift a week (8 hours would be the minimum I think.) I'm sure a lot of places could use an extra body a shift a week on the weekends! Good luck and study hard!!

I had no problem working per diem. My boss gave me the schedule and I scheduled myself to work the days I wanted to work. I chose to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday because I needed to work. But I wasn't required to work all three days that I was available. I believe even as per diem you're required to work at least one full weekend a month. But it can depend on your place of employment.

If you tell them that you're in the RN program then most of them will understand the reason why you're not available to work all the time. But I will be honest that some Directors don't care if you're going to school or not they want you with an open schedule even if you're per diem.

Good Luck
