Hello nurses! I’m stuck in a dilemma as this has never happened to me before. I’m a new grad and I recently accepted a job offer after applying to so many nursing jobs. I filled out all my paperwork and I start next week. The thing is... I got a call back from my dream job and I scheduled an interview. This interview is in a week and a half (so I would already have a week and a half of training done). In the event that I am offered a position for this dream job, what do I do about my current job? I do not want to burn any bridges, but how would I go about quitting? The state I live in is an “at-will” state.

Hi all, Thank you to the ones who gave advice and words of encouragement on my first post. I wanted to individually message each and every one of you, but I'm not active on here so I couldn't. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being so encouraging and supportive through a forum. I just wanted to give you all a quick update. So I wrote the post back in April when I was ~6 weeks pregnant. We had decided we were going to go through with the pregnancy. We told his parents and they were very supportive. I think that made my significant other feel more confident about our choice. We were planning on telling my parents today that we were expecting, but I actually ended up miscarrying. I had it confirmed yesterday. I was exactly 8 weeks yesterday. To say I'm devestated is an understatement. I told my parents yesterday that we were planning on telling them the pregnancy news today, but I miscarried so I'm telling them that instead. They were very supportive and non-judgmental. (My parents also went through a loss when my mom was 5 months pregnant with the baby before me.) My mom held me and I just cried. My dad gave me words of encouragement and prayed over me. Every year for Mother's Day, he sends a text message to me and my sisters telling us we will be great mothers one day and he is so proud to have us as his daughters. He told me yesterday I would have been a great mom to the baby because I am hard-working and I have a good head on my shoulders. It seems as though they also would have been supportive of the pregnancy if it lasted It hurts a lot and it just sucks because even though I wasn't ready, I was willing to be ready and so was my significant other. And we would have had a great support system. We don't plan (not like we planned the first one hah) on getting pregnant any time soon. Our goal is to graduate next fall and travel. In this dark time I'm happy to have him by my side.

Hi all, I want to share that I am looking for advice, not asking to be shamed. I am a young nursing student and recently found out I am pregnant. I do not know what to do. I'm very scared and nervous. I feel overwhelmed and alone and I know the ultimate decision all comes down to me. I will be due around graduation, if I choose to keep it. My last semester or nursing school is my capstone semester which would make the pregnancy a little easier, I think. The only problem with this is finding a job while also following the nurse's schedule during capstone. I want to be able to provide for the baby when it comes into this world, but I'm afraid I won't be able to. I don't want to bring it into this world and then not be able to give it what it needs, but I also don't want to abort it because I'm already so attached and I know I would fall into a deep depression. I feel selfish for wanting to keep it, but I'm so scared to abort it. I am enrolled in school full-time and work part-time as a PCA. I've been with my significant other for 4.5 years. He feels the same way as I do. He says he would take next semester off (even though he is graduating as well) so he could work full-time and prepare for it and just be able to provide for us. But I don't want to strip away his dreams of graduating and being done with school. I feel like it's unfair to him if I keep it. But I feel like it's unfair to me if I get rid of it. I also feel as though I would resent him. We had our lives planned out, and this wasn't supposed to happen until after graduation, obtaining careers, traveling, and marriage. Our parents don't know about it yet and I don't want to disappoint my parents. I am the first child to go to college, and I know this isn't what they expected or sent me to college for. Since my family is religious, I feel like I lose either way... If I abort it, it's against God's plan, but if I keep it, I had premarital sex, ruined my life, disappointed them, and yattayattayatta. If I choose to keep it, I would move back to my hometown which is two hours away--not sure if I would move back in with Mom and Dad-- because that is where my capstone location would be. I would have to find a new job for the summer, and hope it works out during the fall semester. If I choose to abort it, I just don't know. I'm just looking for advice or 'what would you do if you were in my shoes'. Not asking to be shamed for getting pregnant or thinking about an abortion. Thanks for reading.
