I understand the whole old-school tradition of get married before having kids. That's what we were planning in the first place. I don't graduate until December 2019. That's 1 year and 3 months. A lot can happen in that amount of time. My NOW fiance just happened to pop the question over the weekend while we were celebrating my birthday.We've been talking about getting engaged/married for the past year, but we were both experiencing some family issues so we were holding off on getting engaged until things settled down a bit. Without going into too much detail, one of the issues was a grandparent's death and another was parent's divorcing. Now let me address a few issues I have with your comment. - First of all, you seem to be very old school and enjoy assuming other's personal situations. - Thanks for your concern, but I'm on birth control so I can have sex whenever I damn well please. - What do you mean by "have a regular job?" I'm working as a CNA and have been for 7 months now. I work full-time and go to school full-time. I plan to continue working as a CNA until I graduate and pass the NCLEX. How is that not a regular job? - The last part of your comment is what really gets on my nerves. Who do you think you are assuming that I am an addict? FYI, I don't smoke or do drugs. I can't even be around smoke because it triggers my asthma. I drink 1 glass of wine with dinner, maybe 3 nights per week.

I will be graduating nursing school in December 2019. I've been having baby fever badly for the past year and I've been trying to hold off on getting pregnant until after graduation. My boyfriend and I have recently been talking about when to start planning on getting pregnant since graduation is just over a year away. I don't know which would be the smartest option. Should I try to get pregnant around April or May so I'll be due to give birth a few weeks after graduation? I would be eligible for maternity leave through my current CNA job. I could take the NCLEX during my leave and have an RN job lined up for shortly after my leave is over. OR Should I wait until after I graduate and have been working as an RN for at least 6 months before trying to get pregnant? I would have at least a year of RN experience under my belt and I'd qualify for paid leave.
