Good to know. Thanks, I will look into the schools. I know one of the tech schools have both the MA and RN programs so that might be one that would let stuff transfer. Vickie

Hi, I am wanting to go into the healthcare field. Right now I stay home with my 3 kids but my youngest with start kindergarten in 3 years and I want to start researching now what I need to do. My background in a business degree with a concentration in finance and a minor in dance...haha....Don't think that will help me here huh? I wonder if it would be worth my while to call some of the local ob/gyn practices and see who they hire for those positions. The more I read I am just wondering if going back to nursing school at this time when my kids are still pretty young would be too much on me and my family? The MA might be more my speed and then I could always go back and get my LPN/RN when the family is a little older and my homelife is less day to day....Thanks so much for letting me ask you all questions and figure this all out.

Hi everyone, I am interested in starting a 2nd career in a few years in the medical field after being home with 3 kids for 10 years. I am extremely interested in ob/gyn nursing in a doctors office and I am wondering what all those positions are there and there education requirements. The nurse who takes back the patient and takes vitals, etc and assists the dr with procedures such as paps, u/s etc.......Would that be an rn, lpn, nursing asst? Also, do any of those postions have parttime hours or does that depend on the practice. Thanks so much for your time!

Hi everyone, I love this site by the way. I am 37 and a stay at home mom of 3. My youngest will start kindergarten in 3 years and I really think when she does I want to go back to school and pursue something in the medical field. I have a degree in Finance and a minor in dance(haha) but have no interest in that route again. The one thing I am sure of is that I want to work in obstetrics in someway....RN, LPN, sonographer..... How do I figure out how to do all of this? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks so much!
