I have always wanted to be a labor and delivery nurse or CNM, but I quit school after completing one semester of general ed. (I was still 17 and lost :chair: ).....EIGHT YEARS LATER..... I applied to a couple of colleges in my area, and am nolonger afraid of school, I guess you could say I finally have my priorities in order.
Every L&D job search I have seen states "exp req.", how can I get the experience so I can jump right to the L&D unit after I grad. My goal is to become a CNM within 10 yrs. I had my CNA when I was 16 but I got too scared from the nursing home we did our clinical hours at to ever get a CNA job. I have just ordered a CNA textbook to do some studying so I can re-cert. But is there anytihng esle I can do. I have heard of OB tech, and I would asume that would be closer to RN duties than CNA but I don't know how to get into that postion either.
Thanks in advance,
Cassandre'
