Ok.....I'll try to answer the best I can.
An obstetrician/gynecologist is a medical doctor. They go to University typically majoring in pre-med. Apply to a medical school which is 4 more years and then off to a very low paying internship that sometimes requires 120 hours a week to finish. They can be privately employed or working in Knowledge of business and finance, please go to pregnancy
a public hospital.
A midwife requires having a 4 years bachelors' in nursing and then a degree in midwifery from an accredited source, getting ur masters. some states let you become a midwife by studying under others. When you're accredited you can work and deliver in a hospital; if youa re not professionally certified you cannot.
A maternity nurse I THINK depending on the hospital meansyou have to have a bachelor's in nursing. These are your labor and delivery nurses and post partum nurses.
LPN is a licensed pract nurse which is usally a 9 week course. but pay is at like $8-$11/hr dependingon where you live.
RN is a registere dnurse, meaning they took 2 years at community college and sat through licensing exam. They make a bit more than a LPN.
BSN is a bachelor's of science in nursing. they typically make more money than the RN's and can work in certain sectors............like in the NICU and PACU.
If you are willing to put in the work for the reward go be a doctor. If you want more emotional interaction and playing an integral part in the mother/baby experirence I say go for being a midwife. If you're content with taking orders but being the one closest with patients go for being a nurse. content from pregnancy question and answersRenting&RealEstate
I personally am going back to get a 2nd bachelor's in an accelerated BSN program and CAN'T wait to start working!
Best of luck to you!
