First job while pregnant?

[aubrienora]

I need reassurance and/or advice please! I will graduate with my ADN in December. I recently found out I am 5 weeks pregnant and I'm terrified that no one will hire me just to train me and send me on maternity leave. This is my third baby so there will be no hiding that 6 month belly. I've also read that you should wear a business suit to interviews... do they even make maternity business suits? A substantial part of our income now is my GI Bill housing allowance which will stop once I graduate. I will need to find a job right away. Does anyone have experience looking for a job while pregnant? Please tell me there are nursing jobs out there for pregnant new nurses. Any advice to make myself more marketable and make up for that belly? Thank you!

I'm not sure about the hiring process while pregnant. What I do know is that most places have a time limit as to how long you have to work before you can use benefits usually just the 90 days. Also you don't have to wear a business suit. Nice dress pants with a nice top and jacket is sufficient. My favorite outfit for interviewing was gray dress pants with a flow-y pink/white top (between you and me it's actually a maternity top but I really like it and I have a lot around the middle) and a white blazer.
