An OB/GYN nurse is an RN. A family practitioner nurse is an advanced practice nurse (so, more schooling, higher degree than an RN). You wouldn't START as a family practitioner.

When you say you're in college for your MA, do you mean Medical Assistant, or Master of Arts. If you're wanting to be an RN, why not just go to nursing school instead of MA?
