I'm not sure where the best place would be to post this but I want opinions from those who are already nurses. Currently I'm finishing my first semester of nursing school. I have 3 left to go. I have a son who will be one this month. My husband and I are trying to decide when is a good time to add anther child. I know I don't want to have another one while I'm in school. ( I wouldn't mind being in the early stages of pregnancy while in school but I don't want to have a newborn while in school)
We think about a 3-5 year gap between the two children is ideal. My question is in your opinion would it be better to try to get pregnant towards the end of school & have the baby before securing a nursing job. Or better to wait till I found ah job?
The obvious answer is wait till I've found a job but my last pregnancy I was pretty sick for it & I'm scared of 12 hour days while being pregnant I just don't know if my body could do that?
Money isn't an issue either way.
So since you actually work in the job what do you think? What would be better.. What might I be missing?
