Maternity/OB Clinical Specialist

I'm an ADN with one year exp as well. I just enrolled in a local 4-yr university. It offers CNS Gero and CNS Parent-child specialties, along with several FNP options. Personally, I'm going for the Gero route, but there are more people enrolled in the parent-child track. Check out some of the 4-yr universities in your area. My classes will be online, except for the clinical, of course.

I already have a Bachelor's/Master's in another field, so I'll be getting a jump start. For those working full-time, this program is designed to be completed in 5 years. The extremely motivated can likely do it in 3! :mortarboard: The other plus is that your employer will likely pay for all or most of your higher education!

Start researching now, and you will likely be able to start in Spring '07.

Try uic.edu- they have a perinatal CNS masters program, which I am currently enrolled in.

ER1010,

Maybe an FNP (family nurse practitioner) program would be a good fit for you in that it incorporates peds, maternal/child health, women's health, adult, and geriatrics all in one. Then you can work/specialize in an area of your choice...Just throwing that out there.

College Misericordia in Pennsylvania has a Health of Women and Children CNS program.
