Confused on how to start a career in OB

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

So more than half of my mentors, teachers and friends are telling me to start in Med/Surg (which is where I work now as a tech while I finish school), because it's good experience.

However, a handful of trusted advice is coming in that I should go right into my specialty, OB, which I think I am leaning towards because I am never going to get experience with OB situations on med/surg, it's such a unique patient population.

Reading some threads, I am now seeing that it might even work against someone going into Pedi or OB to begin their career in adult care.

Those of you who work in OB, do you have any insight from the inside? Anything you can offer is appreciated!

Specializes in Cardiac.

There are schools out there that only require 1 yr of ANY nursing experience.
