What do you have to study in order to become a maternal/child nurse? What major should I apply for?

I am now applying for college and I wasn't exactly sure what I study in order to become a maternal/child nurse, a nurse that works in the maternity ward. Do I simply major in nursing?

Yes, you major in nursing. You will do rotations in many different environments (emergency, psych hospital, geriatrics, maternity, etc.). Later, you can specialize.

Check your State Board of Nursing to see what degree you you'll need to sit for the nursing licensure exam. You'll probably want to start out with a nursing major and then, after you've been licensed as a nurse, get a master's in maternity & child nursing.
