Nurses, am I hirable during a pandemic?

Question

I'm an RN, graduated in December, passed boards in Feb, and 19 weeks pregnant. I was going to wait to start my career until after I had the baby, especially to protect us during the pandemic. 
My situation has changed and I could really use the money. Do you think I'm hirable in my field considering I'm pregnant, showing, and we are in a pandemic? I would have to be upfront during the interview that I'm pregnant.

Answer

We are desperate for nurses here!!! My mom is an in home IV nurse and they are constantly hiring and expanding. I suggest maybe trying to get into home health so you can be out of the general public. My mom only sees a few patients for extended periods of time a day since their infusions take awhile. You’ll have to look at individual employer’s rules to see how they handle maternity leave before your first year is over. My mom was allowed to be off for 8 weeks as a nurse when she was pregnant with me and then had to go back because she got hired when pregnant. She didn’t get any pay at that time and would have had to go back at 6 weeks for a vaginal delivery. I think you could get hired but I don’t know if you’ll be okay with the maternity leave side of it.

Answer

I know it’s been a few days, but I say go for it. We hire pregnant nurses all the time where I work. The only thing you can do is apply to different places and see!

Answer

Not a nurse, but I doubt it being that far along & you definitely wouldn’t get maternity leave that soon, so I’m not sure how they’d work that out.
