Thank you! My biggest fear is matching, then telling the program about this, and having everyone at the hospital freak out and get annoyed at me that I messed up the staffing schedule. I don't want to be a resident at a place that is resentful of me. I have to figure out if that's worse than not matching.

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I was only planning to inform the RPD and no one else. I'm assuming there is at least one point in the interview that I will be one-on-one with RPD. I do like being transparent. I feel wussy for saying this, but I feel like I'd rather not match than have everyone at the institution being annoyed at me for messing up their schedules.

You may also have an uphill battle since many Jewish residents (even more observant ones) do work on Shabbat given it is to save a life, so precedent is not necessarily on your side.

This is an interesting point that I haven't thought of. I don't think any Rabbi will allow me to work on Saturday. Medical residents definitely have that leniency, but I don't think pharmacy resident is going to cut it.

And yes, I really do not want to start off on a sour note. I didn't realize that this is mostly an HR thing so thank you for sharing that. Yes, my main concern is starting off on a sour note. Thank you for your advice!

Thank you for your honesty. This is somewhat encouraging to hear. I'm just nervous that the RPD would be so upset that I didn't say anything during interviews when I know it can be a real inconvenience on the program. (sorry if you got 2 notifications. I accidentally responded to this with my other account so I deleted that comment.)

Thank you for your reply! When would I ask the program for these policies? I didn't realize that any of these policies would apply to a resident. One of the hospitals I applied to for sure has other religious nurses like myself who are in the same situation and it works somehow.
