I Got It

Well, I got the job today and I start
tomorrow. So I guess i'll call to turn
down the other offer asap. But I am
worried. I'm worried b/c the position has
a three month probationary period, when it
is over they'll make the final decision
about me keeping the job. I am not
worried about getting a poor rating or
anything like that, but by that time it
will be december, and i'll be showing. So
they could fire me b/c I am pregnant, and
diguise it as something else. I am
already showing, but I can hide it b/c of
my frame. Let's hope i'll be able to do
the same then. Well, I have to run and
get some more scrubs, and call ups so i'll
be back on later.
Bye ya'll

Thanks, ya'll. It is a cna position,
erin. I won't be looking for a position
as a medical administrative assistant
until, I get certified in december. But
since i'll, be just about ready to have
the baby, I won't start working until
march or april, maybe.

Hey, congrats! Did u tell them u were
pregnant? If not I would go ahead and do
it, if u dont get it, at least u know now
and still have the other offer. But u
need to tell them cuz if anything happens
to the baby or u its liability. (im
positive u already knew that) but yeah
just go ahead and be honest. They may
understand!

Thanks chrissy. No, I didn't tell them
that i'm pregnant yet. And yea I know,
that if something happens, it is basically
on me. But i'm working light duty in
respiratory. I say that it is light duty,
b/c everyone over there is on a trache,
and they don't get up unless they have
somewhere to go. And since they are on
traches they have to be tube feed. All I
will really be doing is, taking vitals,
giving bed baths, and turning. The
turning of a patient every two hours could
be hard, but I am going to work in
pediatrics only (with the little ones). I
was thinking about telling, them but I
have to tell both of them, and I don't
know what will happen. I guess I may tell
them in a week or two,but i'll just have
to see how things go. The adon, is the
person that hired me, she is really nice,
so I think that she will understand. But,
that is a problem also, b/c a new adon may
be coming on sept. 16th. We'll see.

Most all jobs have a 90 day probationary
period. As long as you perform well you
will be fine. If they do fire you
without cause (well, that actually sucks)
at least here in pa it is perfectly legal
for you to fire someone for any reason and
charges cannot be pressed. Well, I mean,
they can't tell you, "hey I am firing you
because you are ugly" (pregnant, or just a
woman, etc.) but that is just the thing.
They don't have to give you a reason....It
kind of stinks.
My advice though is to tell them right up
front that you are pregnant. If you
don't it will kind of be like lying.
They may not fire you for being pregnant,
but they may for not telling them. Just
a suggestion.
But congrats to you!
