Hi everyone, I am here seeking advice regarding having children as an NP. Currently I am an FNP student and will graduate in June of 2021. I am also working part time as an RN. My question is regarding advice on the "right time" to have kids as an advance practice nurse. (I guess there is no "right time"...but maybe a better time?) Part of me want's to plan things so that my husband and I would have our first born shortly after graduation. This way I could take advantage of the longer maternity leave from my RN job and also maybe use this time to take the boards and apply to jobs. I am also open to waiting a few years until after I start my first NP job, but I have heard that maternity leave is not as generous. I know I would also be delaying things for a few more years since I would not want to leave a new job for maternity leave shortly after starting. There are obviously many factors in this, but just curious about other NP's experiences. So I guess my question is as an NP what was your maternity leave experience like? And has anyone timed their delivery for right after NP school? Thank you in advance! Hope everyone is staying safe!
