I'm thinking about becoming a nurse and i love babies so i want to work in that room where all the babies go??

u know, the room where you can see all the babies in the hospital through a window. well i was wondering if the people who work in that room are nurses or if they have to be?? and what kind of nursing that is, and what kind of education does it require??
thanks for your help!

come on! tell me about college how many years what kind of a college does MU work? (i love that place) thanks!

Well you have to be a LPN at the very least.You most likely want to work in Labor/Delivery.Its a exciting career option.You might also want to consider becoming a nurse practitioner/midwife.Good Luck and great choice.
p.s Im working on becoming a nurse as well,chemistry,biology,and to some extent Physics are very important so pay attention in high school and get really good grades.

the nursery?

the maternity ward. pediatrics. maybe a baby doctor cuz who wants to change all the poopy diapers, leave that to the nurses.

They are not all nurses, some are technicians. You still have to go to school. Then you may have to take a job not in the nursrey and wait for a nursery job to open up. As for the schooling, check in your yellow pages for a school with a nursing program also check with a local hospital and see what kind of requirements they have. Good luck.

That would be the nursery or post natal care unit. Takes alot of time being a regular nurse to be transfered into the pediatrics department. It is a pediatrics nurse and you have to have a nursing degree. Career exp- emergency care* and 5-7 years exp in regular nursing*.

Some of them are nurses and others are just aids. You have to go to nursing school usually 4 years to be a registered nurse with a BS degree. The others are aids and they go to school for maybe 8 weeks. The aids get close to minimum wage, the RN's make better pay.

I know exactly how you feel. That's my ideal dream of a job! However, its not an easy process.. Usually (depending on the hospital, company, etc.) they are licensed nurses, meaning,LVN/LPN's and RN's who specialize in OBGYN and Neonatal. Lots of training, money, and hard work to get to that stage.. At least 2 years for LVN including prereqs, but the biggest thing is finding a spot in a nursing program. Some colleges have wait lists that can last longer then 2 years by itself!

The best advice I can offer is to work up from the beginning of nursing as a CNA or Home Health Aide. That way you are getting experience in a nursing atmosphere while going to school to become a nurse. Not only will you learn about transferring and helping with ADLs (activities of daily living) but, you also earn respect from fellow nurses who are more then willing to help offer advice and guidance, plus networking! Lots of career opportunities in the health care field. Good luck and God bless!

It's called Obstetrics, Sweetie! You need a bachelor's degree in nursing (4 year) and can proceed with more schooling from there if you choose. You'd go to nursing school and become an R.N. (registered nurse) A GREAT carreer! DO IT & the BEST of luck to you!

it's called the nursery or post-partum ward.

doesn't require more than a standard nursing degree which is about 4 years total of college. the first two years are spent on all the required courses needed to start the actual nursing program and the last two years are the nursing program itself.

you don't have to be a nurse to work in the nursery-you can be a nursing assistant as well which is about 6 months worth of school-check with your local college about a nursing assistant program offered.

best thing to do is to go to a college in your area and speak with an advisor on becoming a nurse-they will have all the necessary paperwork and info on what courses are required.
