New OB Nurses, Grads and Students, Please Feel Free to post your questions here:

One more question, I do not know what i want to get my masters in. I love working with mother and baby. If I get an degree in NNP, I feel that u can only work in NICU. If in women's NP only doctors offices and if CNM (maybe office also). Which degree will allow me to work in a hositpal for the experience and then later own in a office. Also, do PA delivery babies.

At my tertiary/high risk antepartum and L&D unit we have PNNPs (Perinatal Nurse Prac). They're was a program here in town but as I understand, it doesn't exist anymore. They latest one hired is a WHNP and has obtained the position through the perinatalogist group and works only at the hospital. They round on the AP pt's, manage their care, do U/Ss and other procedures on the unit for other OBs (1st assist in OR, SROM checks, AROMs, internal monitors). They do not deliver unless it's a demise. It seems like a good route to go because if you ever get tired of the hospital then you can always go do office work.
