Specializes in LTC.

I work FT in LTC. Due to the cutbacks here lately and the huge cut in my check this past week...it leaves me no choice but to look for PT work on the side. I applied to 2 places and have interviews tomorrow at both of them. I have not had a job interview in 9 years!!!! I have no idea what I should wear....I wrote down some ?'s I want to ask them but thats about as far as I got. Id like to have a tour of each facility on the interview but would that be asking too much ? Is an interviewee allowed to ask for that? I want to just take a peek at what the places look like and I want to scope out the staff to see how they seem to interact with each other and see if they look like they are satisfied with their job or if they look overly stressed and unfriendly. I plan on taking a copy of my IV certification, my cpr card, and copies of my last TB tests and cxr just in case they ask for it . I will have to decide tomorrow which one of them I am going to choose....how does one bring up the topic of pay? If they dont bring it up first.....when would be a good time to ask that ? My list of ?'s consist of the following areas: 1. policies on calling in & having to work doubles & is anyone on call for such occasions (because I cannot work a double as I have no day time babysitter and these places are 40 mins from my home, I only pull doubles at my FT since its 5 mins from my home) 2. team work 3. length of orientation 4. expectations from prns/pt staff ....what if one doesnt know to do something or forgets 5. what is the most common reason staff leaves ....am I leaving anything out? I am open to suggestions.
