I don't handle stress well. If the new employer will not consider taking me back after maternity leave than I would get another job ( my current employer now - I can stay per diem ) and always have openings. Nursing is in high demand right now Also, I don't have short term disability and I won't have to change my plan or providers. With the above, I want to move forward with this new offer but I have such a hard time with change

Found out I'm six weeks pregnant after Getting a new job offer at a health clinic. Do I take the job ?? I know I won't be able to get the FMLA benefit since I wouldn't have been there long enough ... I feel like its worth the change for my sanity ... or should I stay at the ltc facility I am at right now where everyone is unhappy, patients are unhappy and there are a lot of errors occurring everyday that the don does not want to look at.

FMLA is unpaid. Do you think it's worth it to go to the new employer ? Do they have the right not to take me back ?

Hi everyone, First time posting on the website. Having a bit of a tough time making a career move. Let me start off by saying I am an LPN of five years, always worked at LTC M-F 8A-4:30pm I had been looking for a change in nursing, and landed an offer at a health clinic Mon-thurs 7:30am-5:30pm. I am having a tough time with the move due to the fact that I just found out I'm six weeeks pregnant ! I am not sure if I'll be able to use a FMLA for my maternity leave with this new job. Also, I don't want to ask the HR because I am ONLY 6 weeks along ... There are cons to working at my current job : no relief at times, pay freeze, unhappy patients and unhappy staff member. The con with new job is the pregnancy issue, and the days r long ( but makes up for it by having Friday and weekends / holidays off ) what would you nurses do if you were me ? I need guidance and advice. Thanks in advance !!!
