Thank you all for sharing your experience and advice! Today, I was able to meet some nurses who are going to the same unit with me. Funny thing I found is all new hired nurses for the unit were told the same thing. All of us were hired as day shift nurses but changed to night shift!!

You're right. I've seen new nurses from other countries almost start working night shifts. I am aware of the benefits of working night shifts and know why people start working night shifts first, but honestly, working night shifts is really hard for me. And the biggest reason I have been waiting for the delayed 6 weeks is that this job is dayshift. You really helped me organize my thoughts. Thanks a lot for your help!

It's already 4th out of 6 weeks I've been waiting. Two weeks left and they're asking for a new one. really hard to start……. Thanks a lot for your advice!!

That's what I was thinking! Many nurses want to get a day shift job, so it's much easier to hire dayshift nurses. So, it seems like they are asking me to do night shift because I have already accepted the offer. And as you said, I don't think I would ever actually get a chance to do a day shift. That's why I'm reluctant to say yes. Honestly, I'd like to look for other possible job openings and want to wait for orientation until I can work on a dayshift. But do you think the job offer might be canceled if I refuse to work the night shift? Thanks for your advice!

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!

Hi there, I am just wondering if anybody here is doing Aspen's RN-to-BSN online program. I am interested in the program, but I'm just worried about their CCNE accreditation. Accreditation for Aspen will be expired on December 31, 2019. And I found that Next On-site evaluation was going to be in Spring 2019 on the CCNE website, but I can't find any information about the result anywhere so far. Do I need to worry about it? or do you all think I have to ask the school about it? Also, as far as I know, they are nationally accredited. I am wondering if I have to consider 'regionally accredited' when I choose RN-BSN program, and if so, why I have to consider it? Is it important when I look for a job and endorse RN license to another state from NY? Thank you all in advance!!! ?
