New on the job and scheduling/leave

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi everyone, I'm currently searching for a job and I have 3 days (fri, sat, sun) in January I plan to take a trip. If I get hired will my employer let me have these days off? what I'm asking is can the scheduling be done so I don't work these days or would I be asking too much being a newbie? Also how soon after getting hired can you take leave? Should I just be upfront w/ employers that offer me a job that these 3 days in jan I would like to be off?? I need to know if I can schedule this trip now. Thank you! :loveya:

Just let them know. Three days isn't a lot.

AFTER you get the offer, and you heartily accept it, say that you have a long weekend planned and paid for coming up. You probably won't have worked long enough to get paid time off. Offer to work New yr's or MLK day, or even both, for your time. Unless you are taking a weekend option job, this should not be a problem. Best wishes!
