New graduate RN and pregnant
Hi everyone,
I posted this to my nativity mom forum as well.
I recently graduated nursing school in May and received my license in July. I am currently on the chase for a task and even have an interview scheduled. My dilemma is that I am currently sixteen weeks pregnant. Surprisingly, I have no baby bump still. If I were to get a job offer, when should I tell them I am meaning? I feel deceiving going into a task interview and getting a job knowing I volition be gone for erstwhile after the baby is built-in in January. I fright that I won't get a position equally a RN to use my skills and have financial support before and after the babe is built-in. Thank you for whatever input

I would tell them, I'1000 an RN and most places are super agreement! I mean it'southward a job field made up of ninety% women! Pregnancy is merely expected, they'll capeesh the help for a few months until you go on leave
I wouldn't tell them unless you feel like it comes up. Just sympathise once you get medically cleared to come back to work (usually around vi-eight weeks), you lot'll have to go dorsum to piece of work. Yous won't qualify for FMLA until you've been in that location a year. This means you may want to bring it upwards in the interview and so you can see what they will offer you for motherhood get out.
Don't bring it upward during the interview. It's actually illegal for them to ask about kids/pregnancy etc. Bring information technology up once they've made you lot a solid job offer (preferably in writing). Two reasons: one) If you mention yous're pregnant during interview, hard to say if discrimination was a gene or not if you don't go an offer. Once you take the offering it'd be pretty suspicious if they tried to take it dorsum. 2) If you're due in Jan, y'all probably won't be employed long enough to qualify for FMLA time off. Yous should enquire almost motherhood leave policies etc before you accept and if you wouldn't qualify automatically see if you can negotiate time off up front
Depends on how long you're planning to stay out after the babe. Get the job offering then tell them. I would assure them that I'll exist dorsum in a timely fashion. Good luck. Also what floor volition you applying to? That tin can be too a major factor
But honestly however you feel comfy.
Legally they can't practise anything about information technology and if they do it'south discrimination (at least in MA) yous got this mama I'one thousand sure they'll be happy for y'all
A girl that but got hired for my shift was 37 weeks. She basically had a flake of grooming and is now on maternity go out! It is definitely possible and shouldn't be an issue! Congrats on your new career!
I am RN likewise and I wouldn't tell them you're pregnant until afterwards yous get job offer! Simply deff tell them because with flu season coming up information technology'll exist important that if at all possible you lot won't become assigned patients that are contagious!!
Don't tell them until after the job offer. They'll likely reject you if y'all tell them at the interview. They'll say something similar "nosotros decided to get another style," becaude they legally can't say it's because your pregnant. But that would be the bodily reason (virtually likely)
I've been an RN going on 3 years. Afterward graduation spots can be competitive, especially in preferred areas. I wouldn't bring information technology upwards, they aren't allowed to enquire. Especially if it's a spot yous actually want... just call up someone else wants information technology besides!
