Trina0606, thank you for your post! It gave me a greater idea of what goes on in this type of setting! It does sound a bit overwhelming since you don't have CNAs, but that's glad that you like it. Have you ever tried any other areas in the hospital or have you just stayed in this field since you first started nursing?

Thank you so much for your post CanadianGirl79! I didn't realize how broad the OB/GYN area really is! I thought there was only one or two main things that you could do in this field. I know that Nursing is a very broad field to get into and you can get a job in whichever field suites you, I didn't necessarily realize that there are so many sections to choose from within each field.

I was wondering the same thing! I'm hoping a nurse that works in this field will look at this and share their experiences about working in the field. I haven't started any of the main clinical classes yet, but I hope after I start them I'll find my calling as to which field I would like to work in. I thought it would be neat to work with new mothers as well. I'm not a huge baby fan, but the birthing cycle just amazes me and I think I would like to be a nurse in the delivery room. And I would imagine working in this field would need lots of patient teaching especially with first time mothers and teen mothers as well. Once again if there is anyone that works in this field I would really like to hear about it!

Hello Everyone, I am a new nursing student and many other students I have classes with seem like they know which area they would like to work in when they graduate. I'm not sure which field I am interested in. One area that I would like to know more about is the OB/GYN. What do nurses in this field do exactly? What are the pros and cons? And what kinds of different places do you work in this field besides a OB/GYN floor on a hospital? Would other places be like planned parenthood? I would like to hear your experiences and stories working in this field, if anyone would like to share! Thanks! :)
