I'm not picky and I know they are hiring in hospitals around me. I just want experience because I plan on going back to school for my NP license in a few years.

I would. In fact, my husband and I both agreed I should start looking for a job by the end of summer, and the hospital near my house is always looking for a new nurse. I've just heard from nurses who are already working that I should spend the first year at home with my baby. I want to work part-time and learn.

I would definitely wait until you are finished with school before starting. That is what my husband and I had planned on doing, but I got pregnant by accident the summer before my last semester (oops!) You are so much foggier mentally when you're pregnant and I had to deal with morning sickness and sciatic pain for the first two months of my last semester of nursing school. It wasn't easy, but I managed. But this is only my experience. Perhaps, it would be different for you!

Hello, Everyone! In December of 2015, I graduated with my BSN. One month later, I passed my NCLEX and became an RN... Oh, and I was 36 weeks pregnant when I did so. I gave birth in February and have been a stay-at-home mom since (my daughter is 3 months old.) I plan on finding a job at the end of summer, and my question is this: Because I have been out of nursing school since December, do you think it will hurt my chances of getting hired? Also, will I find it difficult to transition to a working environment moreso than my peers who started working right after nursing school? Every nurse I have spoken too, in person, has told me that I should stay, at least, one year at home with my daughter before trying to work. However, I'm afraid if I do so, it will make me un-hireable. I think I'm just being paranoid since every nurse's reply has been "NO. Don't worry. You'll be fine." Thoughts? Has anyone else been in this situation? Thanks!
