Dilemma-need adviceRating: (votes: 0) So do I even bother setting up an interview, possibly get a job and move two states away and hope my husband gets a job in the same area, risking losing our amazing health insurance and then the assurance of maternity leave? Or do I turn down the interview and stay with a hospital that feels like it's sinking? I literally am having the hardest time deciding what to do about this. I would interview. You never know where it may lead you. You don't know when the job would start. Interview and get more information. You may decide that you really like them or that you really don't, and they could be the same as well.Treat the interview as an expanding your horizons. Comment:
Never turn down an interview.

What does your husband think?

You would have to pry that PTO and FMLA with my husband's income out of my cold dead hands, I could deal with short term lousy conditions for that. Then I'd move.
Comment:
I don't think it would hurt to interview. You can get a feel for what the job is like (asking questions about patient:nurse ratios, etc.) and find out how the interview process is at the facility. Find out how PTO accumulates and how soon your benefits will kick in. In the end, I'd probably try to stick it out through having baby, just because it'd be a lot to uproot yourself at this time. But, it doesn't hurt to put feelers out there!
Comment:
My husband talked me in to doing the interview because his job is a sinking ship as well. He's not sure if the company he works for is going to have a contract at the end of the year and so he could potentially be out of a job. So I did the phone interview today and it sounds promising. Now next question, if I do get it, when should I tell them I'm pregnant? I'm only 9 weeks now but by the time I start I will be further. I don't want to hide it but I don't want them to find a reason to not hire me or get rid of me during my probation period.
Comment:
My advice would be not to tell anyone your pregnant until it becomes obvious. It's nobody's business and no good will possibly come out of telling them early.
Comment:
You still would have time to get yourself established in a job. You do not need to say anything about being pregnant as that is a private matter.
