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!
