I think those questions are very good ideas and should be asked in an interview, that let's the company know that you are very interested in the business and is not wasting there time and they're not wasting yours

great list of questions I am about to make a transition to a new area and these questions will surely come in handy. As an RN I have been at the same place so it is very nervous for me to start some where else. Thanks for the list of questions.

I have actually asked some of these. It does make a difference! Although it is nice to try to get a feel of the salary BEFORE you go in. I have interviewed at places for 3 or 4 different sessions only to find out the salary was 30 to 40,000 LESS than I was making!
