I am planning on attending college. I want to be a Obgyn 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 obgyn ward or are the considered Obgyn nurses. Second, I wanted to know what kind of degree I would need and how long would it take. And I wanted to know what the difference was between the degrees. All help and advice will be appreciated. THANX! Is a Obgyn nurse also considered a maternity nurse i mean can they also work in hospitals in the maternity floor?
