I newly moved to the states and don't understand what I am going through.

I got an offer for day shift nurse and have been waiting to start working.

First, my start date has been pushed to 6weeks later due to a lack of preceptors. I understand this situation. 

And I got a call yesterday and they are asking me to start working nightshift first since they are currently understaffed during night. 

But I don't think it is right to say OK because I was hired day shift nurse and no one know when things will get better. And honestly, I don't think I would have applied if the position was nightshift. 

So I am wondering if this is common and how other nurses think about this.
Please give me any ideas and advice!

Wondering what happened with OP. Did day shift materialize or did you get sent to night shift?
