Hey ! I will be on the SM perinatal unit, and my offer letter states I will be 12 hour shifts, and part time. I thought when you work 12s you generally work three 12s, or 36 hours per week which is full time. Does this mean I will only be working 24 hours per week or two 12 hour shifts a week ? 
 

does anyone else’s offer letter say they are part time ? 
 

also, how is it doing the rotating nights/days ? Im a little bit worried about it ! 

Oo interesting, yeah I would assume part time is anything less than 3 12-hour shifts. So two 12s makes sense. Rotating is interesting since I’m a night person, I don’t like doing day shifts. But you get used to it! They each have their pros and cons, but overall I think it’s a good experience to do both! 
 

and the new grad program in general, has been really good, at least on my unit (can’t speak for other units). Senior nurses and management are super supportive and it’s nice to work at a place where you’re valued and feel good about going into work every day. Overall, if you got good vibes from the management during your interview, it’s a good indicator of the culture in your unit!

Thanks for providing your experience and insight! It was really helpful ! 
 

And I spoke with a recruiter, and they stated the part-time mention was a mistake so they fixed it to full-time, thank you so much !

That's what I'm assuming. This was their response:

"Thank you for reaching out. We should be notifying you in regards to the departments decisions by this Friday."
