Maternity Nurse/Mid-Wife

Published

i am planning on attending college in the fall of 2005. i want to be a maternity nurse but i just want to get some things straight before i proceed onto college. first off, (this might sound dumb but i want to get it straight) i wanted to know if there are specific nurses for the maternity ward (maternity nurses) or are the considered mid-wifes. second, i wanted to know what kind of degree i would need to become a maturnity nurse.....rn or bsm. and i wanted to know what the difference was between the 2 degrees. all help and advice will be appreciated. thanx!

Hello Everyone.

I saw in this forum that you can get a Diploma in Nursing without doing the pre reques? I am currently doing my pre reques for Nursing, but if I don't have to do them to be an RN then I would not do them. The forum stated that it was an intense 3 yr program, which I would rather do than feeling like I'm wasting time doing pre requies and then entering into the RN program. Does anyone know more about this 3 yr program? I am very interested in working in the OB/Birth Center as an RN, that is my dream.

Thank you.
