Re: 1st time Pregnant Nurse...how do you reveal to boss
Congratulations about your pregnancy and good luck with school.
I just have a comment, it may sound harsh and kinda mean, please don't be offended. I am actually suprised nobody has mentioned it.
You are not a nurse, don't call yourself a nurse. I have worked as a medical assistant for 7 years and have corrected patients and other coworkers. We are not nurses we are medical assistance.
I have NEVER called myself a nurse, nor will I until I am finished with school. I am in my first year of nursing (3rd term) and have always said student nurse. One of the other students called himself a nurse to a pt (big mistake), our clinical instructor actually overheard him and scolded him for it. You can get kicked out of nursing school for things like that.
I am just saying people work hard for the title nurse. I hope that one day you get to the point where you can call yourself a nurse. In the meantime, please don't call yourself a nurse, you are misrepresenting yourself and taking credit for something you are not.
Sorry for my little soapbox, I kinda get a little defensive with the term nurse being used loosely.
