School schedule during job interview process?

[Springflower]

I am currently interviewing for a tech position at a hospital. It's a straight night shift position (2 12hr shifts a week) with rotating weekends. I'm in a full time day track nursing program that will allow me to work any night a week BESIDES Monday's and Tuesday's. This is because I have an early morning clinical the next day. At what point would you suggest I bring that up? During the initial phone screening interview with HR? During the face to face interview with the manager(if I get that far)? If/when I get offered the job? I feel like I should be up front about any scheduling needs because if they can't accommodate obviously I wouldn't be a good fit for the position. I believe this unit does self scheduling, but Im sure based on staffing needs you don't *always* get the days you put down. What do you think?

I wouldn't say a word about it until you make it past the intial screening out process.

Yeah, I was thinking definitely not bringing it up in the initial phone interview. Maybe at the end of the face to face interview with the manager if I'm afforded the opportunity? I would just hate to get hired and start a job only to find out they can't accommodate my school schedule.

I would mention it before you accept a position (if it is offered to you), but not before you make it through the first interview. No sense in weeding yourself out super early.
