New Grad RN starting orientation soon found pregnancy -- what to do?

[binglinger]

I am New Grad RN starting orientation at the end of August on a Med-Surg floor, but just found out that I am pregnant. On one side, I am excited since the pregnancy is a long waiting outcome, plus I am not in a very young age. On the other side, I am worried if I can handle the new RN position along with the pregnancy. I know the floor I will be working is very tough in terms of the pt population, often including very complicated pt, psych pt, pt with infectious disease, very heavy pt, etc. In addition, my only opition for the shift is Day/Night shift (2 weeks day shift + 2 weeks night shift). I don't have the plan to give up the position at this point b/c the RN job market in my area is very competitive. Arhhh, very frustrating situation. Any suggestions, comments and input are welcomed and appreciated.
