Narrative:
On my IOE (initial operating experience) trip I was pm (pilot monitoring) on the last flight of the day. During descent we were given a late hand off from center to approach. Approach gave us the nordk 4 RNAV arrival into slc and we were given a 'descend via' clearance and cartr at FL190 and 280KTS. We were set up for landing south. I had gotten the ATIS which had advised landing north. As pm I failed to communicate that information to the PF and he was planning on landing south.we continued our descent as if we were landing south; but then realized our error. We then corrected our error and set up for north flow. ATC then asked us if we were set up for landing south or north because it appeared we were set up to land south. We had already corrected our route and were direct settt; and descending through 13;000ft; 2;000ft lower than the next crossing restriction on the north flow; which was settt @ 15;000ft. We leveled off at 13;000ft and were direct settt. We then continued the arrival as ATC had cleared us for.there were no separation issues or any other irregularities on the rest of the arrival. ATC did not give any further instructions and we thanked them for their assistance.
