A LITTLE CLARITY GOES A LONG WAY
Before your
next yes.
You don’t have to be changing jobs to ask better questions. Use these to compare a clinical opportunity or prepare a conversation about the role you already have.
What pay can I count on?
Ask which amounts are guaranteed, which depend on extra hours or other conditions, and which are one-time payments. What would you receive in an ordinary week?
What does the schedule look like in practice?
Ask about start and finish times, call, nights, weekends, schedule changes and time off. Which expectations can be put in writing?
How would I practice here?
Ask about the cases, responsibilities, support and working relationships you would have. Which parts match how you want to work, and which need more discussion?
What happens when the day changes?
Who covers absences, late cases or visits and unexpected workload? What happens if you stay beyond the planned shift?
What would I be committing to?
Ask about any repayment conditions, notice requirements or other obligations before treating a bonus or promise as part of your decision. Get the exact written terms to review.
What would actually make this better for me?
Pick your two or three priorities. Compare the role with your current situation, including the possibility of improving what you already have.
