Want night shift!!

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Yes!! After only 2 months I received my first 2 job offers today as a graduate nurse and chose a day shift Med/Surg Oncology floor. However, I am supporting my family and I needed the night shift due to the large shift differntial. At the interview I said I was open (because I was just desperate for a job.) I was wondering if it is professional to call the nurse manager and ask if there are any night shifts available?? Any help would be great..Thank you!

I see nothing wrong with asking about night shift. Just say that after consideration you really thought the shift differential pay would make a huge difference for you. In my experience night shift has always been a needed shift as many nurses do not want to work nights (myself included:) Plus you never know....maybe there is someone on nights that wants to move to days. Good luck

Wonderful! employed after 2 months: Thats motivation!!!!!!!

Go for what you want! It should be no harm and asking, its either yes or no. I had a question for you NurseLove88 lpn-rn salary did you get credit for your lpn experience? Hope its not to personal:)

Thanks
