Pregnant and Graduating in 6 mos....

Well, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant with our second child and we finally were successful. Our plan was to conceive so that the due date would be in June, one month after graduation from my BSN program. Well, it took us a little longer than we thought and I am due around early August.

Well I am starting to stress already that we'll be broke until I start working in late September/ early October (after 6-8 weeks with the new baby).

Does anyone have any recommendations on when to interview? Should I start in June/ July 2009 and let them know that I wouldn't start until October? Should I interview before I start to show and be like... "Suprise!" when I show up for work in June, 7 months pregnant? And work as long as I can?

Also, I was wanting to do a fellowship possibly in ER/CCU/ICU... does anyone know of any St. Louis hospitals that start fellowships in the Fall? I could cut my "maternity leave" early if it meant doing a fellowship....
