Pregnant need advise on waiting to have baby or looking for a job now?Rating: (votes: 0) ![]() After I graduated from my BSN program my husband and I decided to start trying. He was deploying in June though so we didn't really think it would happen before then. Well, it did. I still applied! I figured I could work out something if I got hired, which I did end up doing. I have gotten pregnant at extremely unplanned times (my last one being after we moved to Maryland - I wanted a job right away but found out I was pregnant and it was high risk/complicated) - but 5m after having her I received a job interview! When they interviewed me I told them the reasoning for my recent gap in employment. The nurse manager appreciated it. And I got the job offer the next day. If I was you, working on BSN stuffs would be a good idea! But still apply. Maybe look for something part time. You never know what might happen. Best of luck! Comment: I can't speak as to whether you should apply for positions in these circumstances, as I'm not a manager and haven't been in your position.i agree w/ the PP about continuing to show active learning participation if you decide not to work, though. That way, when you eventually interview, you can point out that you made the most of the situation by taking additional courses, or taking ACLS, etc.Best of luck!Comment: I would try, but I can speak from experience x 2 (it just worked out that we relocated for once for hubby's work, and once for my RN program while pregnant) that no one would hire me as an LVN, and I had 8 years and 11 years experience either time. People absolutely do get jobs though so I would go for it, and I would especially look into the new grad programs, but I wouldn't bet on being hired. Hope for the best, plan for the worst ya know? Good luck!
