hello all.  Just wanted to introduce myself.  my name is Janell and i graduated May 2010 from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro's Nursing program.  It was tough but im glad I made it out of there! I am studying for the NCLEX currently.  I am hoping to get a position soon, however a week after graduation I found out that I was pregnant! talk about perfect timing :).  I guess now i have been a little discouraged on the job search because of my condition (that sounds funny), but I'm hoping that someone will see my potential :) I believe that I am going to be an awesome nurse!  I love nursing and I can't wait to explore all the career opportunities that we have.  We make such a difference in peoples lives and I love that feeling.  My preceptor continues to tell me how patients from the oncology unit come in a ask for me.  As a student, that is a great compliment.  Im just looking to find some like minded individuals here  for some advice and encouragement and hopefully some friendships!

 Hi Janell! Congratulations on graduating!  Good luck taking the NCLEX & in your chosen career!  CONGRATS ON THE BABY ! Don't worry about the pregnancy hindering your chances for getting a job! I worked til the day I delivered each of my 4 children. I also applied for & got hired midway through my last pregnancy.  In the health care field, we are blessed to be able to choose to work between the various shifts & every day of the week, which is an asset when raising children.Best wishes to you!
