Gap Between School/NCLEX And Looking For Position

Hi All,
I graduated from nursing school last August, and passed NCLEX on my first attempt last November. Due to family issues, I am just now starting to look for an LPN position. I am concerned that the gap may hurt my chances of getting hired. Would it be wise to explain the reason for my delay, or would that induce a prospective employer to think I may bow out on them in the future BECAUSE I took time to handle the issue? I personally believe that this issue is now resolved, and would seek other options if anything similar arose in the future, but I'm not sure how a prospective employer might feel.

Has anyone else experienced a gap betwen their training and seeking employment? How did things work out for you?

Thank You
