Working in the areas of obstetrics and gynecology, an OB-GYN nurse is responsible for a variety of duties in her specialized area of nursing. Like most nursing careers, the job of an OB-GYN nurse is physically demanding. However, according to EduDecisions.com, these nurses typically "derive much personal satisfaction from their work."

The fields of obstetrics and gynecology deal with women's reproductive health issues, often specializing in dealing with pregnancy and childbirth. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) are employed in OB-GYN, depending on the office's specific needs.

Work experience Become a registered nurse (RN) with no less education than two years for an associate's degree in the field of nursing from an accredited educational facility. Some health care organizations do accept licensed practical nurses to work in the OB-GYN area, but their responsibilities usually will be limited. Give serious consideration to getting a bachelor's in nursing degree to be more competitive and have greater opportunities for higher income and increased responsibilities. While in school take courses in patient-care skill for women, mothers and infants, well-woman examinations, newborn care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. Although many employers will hire RNs with an associate's degree, the bachelor's degree is preferred. Pass the national licensing examination, or NCLEX. Check with your state board of nursing to determine specific requirements for registered nurses. Consider continuing your education as a nurse practitioner with a master's degree in the science of nursing. In this role, you will be able to work on your own to care for pregnant or postpartum mothers and their newborns. You will have the opportunity to work in a doctor's office, health care clinic, in education and training, or with women who are suffering from specific female-related illnesses. Continue to go to school to maintain your state license and take courses in business, law, science, clinical skills or training. Or take additional classes to gain more knowledge about a specific area of care in OB-GYN.

Personality TraitsOB nurses must be prepared to walk into any childbirth situation at any point and be able to assist with the patient and the overall process. Therefore, this job requires high self-confidence and the ability to remain calm under pressure. OB nurses must have good people skills as well, as they're often responsible for calming down a laboring woman, as well as passing on news and information to expecting fathers and families that are under high stress.
