So after searching for my first RN job since December, I was finally blessed with a job in LTC last week. During orientation, it was made clear that we work in an 'at will state' which means the employer can terminate employment at anytime, and without reason if it falls within the first 90 days of employment. Well, I am almost 14 weeks pregnant, which means by the end of my first 90, I will be about 7 months and most likely HUGE! Oh yeah, did I mention I have NO experience as an RN???
So my question, what do you think the chance of them letting me go is once they figure out I'm pregnant and not fat? Now, I know a company cannot legally terminate an employee for being pregnant, but that would be next to impossible to prove if they decided to X me before the 90 days are up. So should I expect be fired once they realize what's up?
Oh and for what it's worth: I plan on taking 4 weeks max when the baby comes (granted it is an uncomplicated ag delivery) and I am a natural born breeder, meaning I may get huge, but I carry my babies well (few aches and pains, little to no waddling, I basically function normally, just with a big belly) so I really don't anticipate any problems being able to perform.
