Student and wanting help in going forward to bcome a OB nurse

[NursingStudent19]

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

I would have to agree with those saying go straight for your RN (in a college or university) if that is your goal. Racking up school debt is serious business, too serious not to go for what you intend from the start.
