Hello I am looking for a bit of guidance here: I just interviewed for my first RN position in NYS, I have gone through the new hire physical and at my appointment, they mentioned I must receive the booster or I will be let go in 2 weeks. I just found out that I am pregnant very early still and I don't feel comfortable getting booster in the 1st trimester. I was going to work on a permit and take the boards next month. I do not know what to tell HR, 1: that am I am pregnant and I want to hold off a month or two and accept the position, 2: that I don't feel comfortable with working yet and not having the boards complete. I know they cant discriminate against pregnant women but I don't know if this looks bad because I have gone through all the new hire paperwork and am looking to postpone my start date. Any advice would help. Thank you!

Hello, I have been applying to nursing school. I have had a felony possession of marijuana that was dropped down to a misdemeanor. I am so worried that the board will deny my license after my exam. The court wont expunge the charge either. I am not sure what to do. I don't want to invest all this time and effort into school if they wont give me a license. This happened over 10 years ago and I am not the same teenager that I was back then.
