Per diem job interview, do I tell I'm pregnant?

[txm910]

I am interviewing to transfer internally for a per diem Oncology position. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant. Should I tell the nurse manager I am pregnant? I know they can't discriminate but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. My plan was to not mention anything unless she asks why per diem? Since I am still young. If she doesn't ask that I don't know how or when to bring it up during interview anyway. In that case I'd let her know after a job offer. Does that sound like it's the right thing to do? Or should I not say anything until after job offer? I am a very honest person and this is a difficult position for me! I am very excited and passionate about oncology and feel blessed to have an interview opportunity!

I just posted a heap of stuff & lost it - again. This happens a lot on this site.

it's hard for bosses to get staff to cover for u around holidays like Xmas; they need to plan their rosters ahead of time.

And hanging chemo - you will need the double gloves & full face mask as it's so toxic.

Do the right thing and be honest. Why do you want to lie anyway? They're going to find out, and I for one would not be impressed with you. They may even find a reason late to let you go.

Be honest & do the right thing - just tell them.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that looses stuff. Since you are per-diem I would normally say no, don't tell. Being that this is Oncology and special accommodations will have to be made for you.... I feel that you should tell the manager but right after the offer is made. Any questions regarding your health should NOT be a part of the interview. If she asks you about per-diem I would just say it is what is available at the moment and suits your private life.
