What college degree would I need if I wanted to work in the Labor and Delivery field of a hospital, but I don't want to actually deliver a baby?

A Hospital Diploma is a two- to three-year hospital-based nursing program that prepares you to deliver direct patient care in a variety of environments.

The most common or sought-after license is the RN, or registered nurse. There are a few different paths to becoming an RN. You can enter a two-year associate degree program, where you focus more on technical skills than theory, earn an associate’s degree in Nursing (A.D.N.), and then sit for NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses), a state-administered, five-hour, multiple-choice exam. You can also take this route if you are planning to go on to earn your bachelor’s degree in Nursing (B.S.N.), which is preferred in the job market, but wish to work and earn money as an RN while studying for your bachelor’s degree. Or you can go directly to a four-year college, take the standard bachelor’s degree prerequisite courses, and apply to the college’s nursing program. Each college has different requirements for entering their nursing programs, so you need to check the procedures carefully. You would then sit for the NCLEX-RN exam upon graduating. Once you complete your education and training, you will need to be licensed as an Advanced Practice Nurse, a Registered Nurse (RN), or as a Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse (LPN/LVN).

You could be a labor and delivery nurse. Pediatricians are great too. There’s also the NICU (Neonatal intensive-care unit) which cares for premature babies. Anesthesiologist are great for the medical field and they get paid a amount of money. They come in handy for just any procedures that take anesthetics. That would help more for Cesarean sections and maybe epidurals…I think.

I hope this helped. Sorry it’s soo long.
