I want to work in labor and delivery as an RN or medical assistant?
Asked by princess011181
I don't know where to start. right now I"m just a receptionist at a medical center but I want to assist in labor and delivery so bad, its always been my dream. where do I start and what does this kind of work pay?

Best Answer:
Well there's a big difference in education between those two jobs. An RN requires about 3-4 years of schools but I know here in Modesto, Ca they earn around $50/ hour. A medical assistant only goes to school for about 9 months and earn about $10/hr here...

I'd go to a community college and become a medical technician, get an internship with a OBY/GYN. To find the salary for this work, go to the Internet and type in "Department of Labor" and click on wages. The wages are listed by states, click on states. The salaries are listed by beginning, medium, and high. You might also want to consider being a nurse but the training is longer. Good luck.

Well i am in two year college and the offer a program for RN nursing degree, that's where I would begin is looking into schools where the degree is offered. About the pay I am here in Oklahoma and it isn't the best I don't think. I make about 16 dollars an hour.
