It depends on where you are. There are a lot of us who went straight into OB and I have never regretted it. Make sure your final practicum and any other that you get to choose are in L&D/OB and try to involve that in your school projects and papers. You can probably also take specialty courses by distance if you really want to. I would definitely recommend you take a fetal heart monitoring class before doing a practicum in L&D and neonatal rescusitation would be a plus. Good luck

I do not graduate until May 2004. I want to get into the OB field as soon as I graduate. I really want to be a LD Nurse. What are the chances of this happening without experience? I really would like to avoid Med/Surg, etc. My hope is to one day get into Nurse Education for OB (teach childbirthing classes/breastfeeding, etc.) Does anyone have any advice on how to make this happen?? I am very sure this is the direction I want to move in so I do not want to waste time in other areas. I know the experience would be good but its not where I want to be...
Thanks :)
