What if I give my notice and the match fails, and I find myself without a job and not being able to get another one as I won't know when I will be matched again? My boss understands the situation and is ok with it, but I can't imagine trying to find another job knowing I might have to quit again one month later or something...
My agency has 20% of emergency placements and I almost hope we will have one of those, just so the decision is easier for us...
If you were in the same situation, how did you handle it?

My job situation may have been unique but they knew that I could be matched anytime and instantly and that when that happened I was done. We worked to prepare for my job to be covered by others for the year of mat leave I was taking, and then put the plan into place when Bug was born 2 days after the match. The fact is... if you were pregnant there would be no guarantees of the timeline either. You could go earlier than expected or have complications such as bedrest.
ANd complete honesty about the possibility of the match failing worked for us...
