Like a Maternal-Ward Unit assistant? I see them all the time in movies, and I'm not sure about how to become one... Should I get a LPN degree? Or associate RN, or RN? Ah, so confusing! Please help!
A Hospital Diploma is a two- to three-year hospital-based nursing program that prepares you to deliver direct patient care in a variety of environments.
The most common or sought-after license is the RN, or registered nurse. There are a few different paths to becoming an RN. You can enter a two-year associate degree program, where you focus more on technical skills than theory, earn an associate's degree in Nursing (A.D.N.), and then sit for NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses), a state-administered, five-hour, multiple-choice exam. You can also take this route if you are planning to go on to earn your bachelor's degree in Nursing (B.S.N.), which is preferred in the job market, but wish to work and earn money as an RN while studying for your bachelor's degree. Or you can go directly to a four-year college, take the standard bachelor's degree prerequisite courses, and apply to the college's nursing program. Each college has different requirements for entering their nursing programs, so you need to check the procedures carefully. You would then sit for the NCLEX-RN exam upon graduating. Once you complete your education and training, you will need to be licensed as an Advanced Practice Nurse, a Registered Nurse (RN), or as a Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse (LPN/LVN).
You could be a labor and delivery nurse. Pediatricians are great too. There's also the NICU (Neonatal intensive-care unit) which cares for premature babies. Anesthesiologist are great for the medical field and they get paid a amount of money. They come in handy for just any procedures that take anesthetics. That would help more for Cesarean sections and maybe epidurals...I think.
I hope this helped. Sorry it's soo long.
Your best bet is to become a registered nurse. Appear for the NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination), and then you could get your AS or BS in nursing. You can also do your MS in nursing, if you're really interested, where you can focus on ob/gyn nursing. One of the good schools I know which offers a nursing program is CollegeAmerica. You can do your BS in nursing once you become a registered nurse. Read a CollegeAmerica review for further details or visit their website. http://funadvice.com/r/bt7p5tjridt

I think it would be best to do a nursing degree. I have looked into working in a similar area (fertility) etc, and most of the jobs I have come across that you would probably be interested in are asking for registered nurses. It would also give you quite a bit of flexibility if you ever wanted to try something else.
