Thank you for all the help everyone. Sounds like I will start at the bottom to get to the top, and years down the road. But anyways I headed that way. And hoping to become a Doctor someday

I'm taking courses on preparing treatment and examination rooms, taking vital signs, possible assisting in minor surgical procedures, giving injections, venipuncture, assisting in laboratory operations, taking X-Rays, and electrocardiograms. And also patient records, billing, scheduling appointments, ordering supplies, and handling insurance claims. Just hoping 1 or more of these would get me in the door to be with Mother and baby. When I started school they ask if I wanted front desk or in the back. I do not wish to work at the front desk. I want to work with patient's. Was already told my last 2 months of school they would get me in the hospital I wish and area for my intern. I just don't want to be disappointed.

Thank you for the welcome. Yes, seems like I'm Already addicted. Can't seem to sign off and get my work done. :-)

I'm new as of today. I have been walking through this site all day. When I should be cleaning my house. But I have enjoyed my stay so much I have put it off for 5 hours. LOL And decided to finally join. I could use help in going forward with my decision to become a nurse and would like to go in to OB working in a hospital, hoping in L&D. But I need help and make sure I get the right schooling. I'm in College in Medical Assistant/Associate Degree. Then not sure what I need to do next. And what kind of job I can get in a OB hospital with a Associate Degree in Medical Assistant. I wish I could get a job now even before I graduated. I love the stages of child birth. And want to bad to work with mothers and their new babies. So If someone can point me in the right direction. No one I my family is in the nursing career, So I'm alittle lost Thanks
