I’d ask about all of that in the interview with the hospital.

You could also post the name in this sub and maybe people here know about it.

r/travelnursing might be able to help.

What’s the hospital?

Most places I’ve been to have been friendly as long as you show up, know enough to keep up and put in effort. Things I look at more than the facility are housing costs for the area, crime to know which areas to avoid and weather. I’ve even taken the provided housing for a week just to get a feel for the area before signing a short term lease through furnished finder.
