Interviewing for jobs

Hey. I'm graduating in Aug and am in the process of looking for a job. I need some advice on good questions to ask potential employers.

My main concern as a prospective employee, especially as a new grad, would be the orientation/preceptor process. How long is it? How receptive are their preceptors to new nurses? How long will the training period be, etc.

Show interest in the hospital. First do your research on it, and then ask about services they offer to patients. Find out about out-patient services, where patients go when they are discharged, etc.

From what I have heard, it is best to focus your questions on your career development and the hospital itself than on your pay. Not to say that it shouldn't be mentioned, but just that it shouldn't be your first and main question.

This is my first post on this site, but I read through topics quite often.

I just wanted to add that you should make sure that you and the hospital are close to the same page when it comes to salary, you don't want to waste anybody's time.

On a similar subject, how do questions differ when you are interviewing with a group.
