Labor and Delivery Nursing

[fantashleyy]

I am in my first year of college. I'm actually writing a research paper for a class about the career I chose. I need some help though. What kind of degree, college classes, additional training/ specific areas of expertise are required to become a labor and delivery nurse? What is the starting salary and established? What are some pros and cons about this job?

Thanks in advance for any help:)
