Employment gaps are not uncommon, especially if you’ve taken time off from a job to further your education, have a baby, or other reasons. When seeking a new nursing job you may be concerned about what a gap in your employment will look to potential employers. It’s best to be truthful and explain your situation honestly. As long your nursing license and certifications are up to date, you shouldn’t encounter any issues professionally. Keep your license in mind when taking any time off of your career for personal reasons. Many employers will be understanding and won’t hold it against you if you’re a qualified candidate.
