I graduated in December and due to family obligations, I haven't searched much for my first job yet. In fact, I'd really rather wait until September to start my first job since my kids will all be off to college by then and I'd have time to help my elderly parents with getting their home ready to sell. This is a second career for me. Would it be a disadvantage to wait until August to start seriously looking for my first nursing job, 8 months after I graduated? I went to a good school, and did very well. I thought I'd get a few certifications this summer in the meantime (ACLS & PALS). I don't know what potential employers might think of the delay.
