I'm looking to become an OBGYN nurse how exactly does it feel to be one?
I am getting my CNA degree this year as a sophomore in high school to help push that forward. I am just wondering what being an OBGYN nurse goes like on a daily basis.

Hello Kaylee, congratulations on your fantastic career choice!
Embarking on the journey to become an OB/GYN nurse after high school involves a few key steps. First, you'll need to earn a recognized nursing diploma, or perhaps an accredited associate degree in nursing (ADN), or even a bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN). After graduation, you'll need to secure your licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN). The next stage of your journey will involve practicing in an OB/GYN setting for at least 2 years.
As an OB/GYN nurse, your responsibilities will vary depending on your workplace, but typically, they include assisting with routine check-ups, which might involve pap smears and sample collection. You'll also be tasked with gathering and documenting patients' health information, such as vital signs and blood pressure. In addition, you'll have the rewarding duty of guiding and educating patients about birth control and safe practices.
Your chosen career path is challenging but incredibly rewarding, Kaylee. You're on your way to making a significant difference in the lives of many women. Keep going!
