What are the types of nurses who specialize in Women’s Health?
October 29th, 2009 | by admin |All I know is that there is a women’s health nurse, but that’s not very specific. I would actually like to become one, but I don’t know they name of what it would be called. Please tell me 
You could be a Registered Nurse (RN) who works for a private OB/GYN practice or in the OB/GYN ward of a hospital, or one that works at a family planning/women’s health clinic (like Planned Parenthood). I don’t know if there is a specific name, you would just choose this to be your speciality based on where you work.
If you wanted to be an advanced practice nurse, you could be a Nurse Practitioner (NP) who specializes in women’s health (there are specific programs for this) or a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) who specializes in prenatal care and delivery.

an RN can specialize in any specailty that they choose. the same with an LPN. Nurse practitioners can prescribe medicine and do exams that a doctor would. there isn’t a certain type of nurse. they can pick their specailty.
