Hello, I cross posted this on the student nurse board, I hope that is okay! I will be graduating in May with a BSN. I am currently 6 months pregnant and am due in August. I've had conflicting advice of people saying I need to start working right after I graduate and pass the NCLEX because it will reflect negatively in my career if I don't. Does anyone have any advice or tips? I was planning to wait to work til after I recovered from delivering and possibly not even til next year. I want to take my NCLEX right away after I graduate just start working in January. Is this too long of a gap? Should I try and squeeze a job in from late May/ early June until I give birth? I'm really panicking that I have ruined my career and chances by being pregnant right as I am finishing school.
