Interview but have vacation planned

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

Hi allnurses,

I have a question regarding when it is the appropriate time to bring up a pre-planned vacation during the hiring process. I have an interview coming up for a PCT position that I really want! I currently work PRN but this new position is part time. I have planned and paid for a 1 week vacation this May, which wasn't a problem since I work PRN. I am not sure when I should bring this up to the Nurse Manager as I don't want to hinder my chances of getting hired. Are manager's generally accepting of pre-planned vacations? I hope I don't lose out on the money I already spent. Thank you for any helpful advice!

Also, if you get the job and make the request for the vacation expect it to be an unpaid week off. If you even ask if you have vacation benefits it could change their mind about letting you go.
