My best advice in addition to what has been posted, is to focus on getting into medical school while in college.  Once you are in, you will be able to rotate through all of the medical specialties, and profess your inclination towards OB.  Then sign up for several fourth year med school rotations in OB.  \nTry to become involved in OB research, whether clinical or basic science (that, you can start in college, but is not essential) during medical school, that will earn you a lot of respect when you apply for an OB residency your fourth year of med school.

Call your local community college, they usually do classes for it there.

Biology involves a lot of memorization. The best advice for\nyour college curriculum is to not narrow your options to soon.\nStudents change majors a lot. With a BS in biology you\ncan get a job in any hospital lab or a pharmaceutical lab. Then go back to college for grad school at the hospital's(or corporation's)\nexpense.

Why don't you go talk to your advisor first to make sure you don't lose any of your credits you have taken in the first two years. I imagine you have been taking core classes which would apply to most majors. Secondly, why don't you look at a double major as a possibility. You can't have too much education. Remember that the "stuff" you watch on television such as "Sex in the City" is Hollywood made up stuff. It is not all that glorified and glamourour. We do need great reporters and writers but do NOT use Sex in the City for a guideline. You would be better off talking to a real journalist as to what to expect in your newly chosen major. Good luck to you and stay in College no matter what and get some sort of degree.

Each school will have different requirements.  The best idea is to talk to an advisor about the college you would like to go to.  They can help you plan exactly what courses to take into the future.

maybe pick one or two classes where you had a project or something out of the ordinary that you had to do. or maybe you had a co-op or internship. then expand on what you learned from those experiences and how it will help you during college. maybe in one class you've had to write a huge research paper and you had use a bunch of sources (maybe through online database research like pubmed, psychinfo, or ovid)...youre definately going to have to do that in college!

Since you're in college, take a conditioning class or weight lifting class.  The instructor will be really informative, especially it's at a college level, usually requiring a doctorate degree to teach.\n\nThose type of classes are usually one unit, so it will save you a lot of money.  Plus you get credits!

That's what I want to do when I get out of college. \nDoes anyone know:\n1) What classes I need to take in high school and college-  I suggest you take your math and chem courses in high school.  If they offer foreign language, take that.  If they offer a basic Psych course, take that.\n\nIn college, you'll need to be Pre-med and as a result will have to take all of the required science-math courses.  Pre-Med is a HUGELY competitive program.\n\n\n2) What a good college for this would be-  any college with a strong pre-med and child development program.  I would look toward Private Schools.  They test to place better on the assessment tests.\n\n3) Do I really have to become a medical doctor first (like one who works in hostipitals)\n\nYes and no.  You'll be required to intern and the hospital is an excellent place for internship.  Private practices usually tend to fail within the first few years unless the doc is working two jobs.\n\n4) about how long will i be in school if I go year round (no summer breaks) \n\nYear-round school is expensive.  Typically, schools charge by the class.  In the summer, classes tend to run more than in-session classes (unless you take your summer classes as a community college, and then, you have to make sure all of the credits will transfer).\n\nI suggest you look into a school that runs in quarters not semesters.\n\nHowever, unlessyou're Doogie Houser, expect to graduate with an undergraduate Pre-Med degree within 3-4 years.\n\nMasters programs can run from 1-2 years.  Pre-med from 2-4 years.

The best part of college is that it allows you to figure out what you really love!  You don't have to declare a major to start college.  Just take a wide variety of classes, you may discover that you want to major in a subject that you never even considered.  Explore and follow your heart!  You'll be fine!

Let me see if i can help you. I am a freshman at WSU (wichita) and i am also majoring in nursing. I was really confused too. Once your excepted to the university you start all your general ed classes, or pre-req's. That is usually done your freshman year, and even depending on the college your sophmore year as well. But just because you accepted into the university does NOT mean that your automatically in the nursing school. Usually nursing schools are competitive and look at a students GPA, which usually has to be about 3.0. After or when your close to finishing all ur gen. edu classes, apply to the nursing school then.  I hope that was clear enough. Good luck. PS: talk to your advisor or counselor about the classes you need to take and your other classes, they will probably help more than i can.

take college course\n\nthere are many books on the subject

That really depends on the college you are looking for.  Different colleges will have different prerequisites, different course structures, and different requirements.  Of course they will all lead to the same eventual end but there are many paths to get there.  \n\nHonestly if you don't know what college to look at AND don't know enough about the different subjects to chose, compare them side by side.  Nursing program for nursing program and see which one explains themselves better.  Try calling the various colleges.  DO NOT tell them you are a prospective student.  They'll send you to the recruiting department and you'll get nothing out of them.  Ask to speak with a professor or a director of the program.  (Normally you can go online and find out their names and titles)\n\nI wish I could give you links but you'll need to find some colleges yourself.\n\nI went to and graduate Oklahoma City University.\nThe have a wonderful nursing program and their business school is one of the best in the country.  (Their technology programs and other healthcare leave a little to be desired.)\n\nTheir website is \n\nhttp://www.okcu.edu/\n\nor \n\nhttp://www.tgimatocu.com/\n\nHope that helps.  Good luck!

go to a community college and take some classes

You could take a class on it.  I took one when I was a freshman, but if you aren't in highschool or college...they have community classes.  I wasn't planning on having kids any time soon, but it was very informative and it was pretty cool to see how everything works.  We learned what happened every week during pregnancy, and we learned how the child's brain would grow and work, and many many MANY more things!  They also taught you parenting methods and what is right/wrong for parents to do.  Even if people aren't ready at all for kids, it was a very good class to become educated on life in general.  \n\ngood luck! =)

you must go to a nursing school in college and become a registered nurse. in high school, to prepare for college, you should take bio 1 and 2AP, and all the required sciences
