I am planning on attending college in the fall of 2005. I want to be a maternity nurse but I just want to get some things straight before I proceed onto college. First off, (this might sound dumb but I want to get it straight) I wanted to know if there are specific nurses for the maternity ward (maternity nurses) or are the considered mid-wifes. Second, I wanted to know what kind of degree I would need to become a maturnity nurse.....RN or BSM. And I wanted to know what the difference was between the 2 degrees. All help and advice will be appreciated. THANX!
RN or BSM: Maturnity Nurse
first you have to be a RN and get hired to OB after completing general courses. Then if you want to go further you can be a Certified Nurse Midwife but you have to be the RN to start. Some places will hire you right out of school for OB some won't.
Learn to spell. It's BSN and maternity
