Ob-Gyn As a Career?<br />
Amber Tuttle<br />
As a high school senior, it’s time I make my final decision about college and my<br />
degree. My nursing magnet has made a huge impact on my decision. I’ve decided I want to<br />
get my bachelors in science with a focus of Ob-Gyn.<br />
An Ob-Gyn is a very hard degree to earn. It’s at least four to six years of college, then<br />
four to six years in residency. Then after those 8 to 12, years you will finally have your<br />
degree and be qualified to be an Ob-Gyn.<br />
Ob-Gyns don’t only see pregnant women. They see females in general. Ob-Gyns can<br />
specialize in everything from pre-natology to cervical cancers, fertility to menopause. They<br />
also do 10-15 ultrasounds a day. Needless to say, some Ob-Gyns perform abortions.<br />
Being an Ob-Gyn can be a busy life. Office hours normally run until 4pm. After that,<br />
they’re on call for labor and delivery. It can be stressful, because you never know when<br />
there will be a call to go to a hospital. Overall, being an Ob-Gyn is a 24/7 job. When dealing<br />
with pregnant women, you must always be by your phone and ready to go. This job takes<br />
passion, love, and commitment.<br />

An ultrasound scan, also<br />
referred to as a sonogram,<br />
diagnostic sonography, and<br />
ultrasonography, is a device<br />
that uses high frequency sound<br />
waves to create an image of<br />
some part of the inside of the<br />
body, such as the stomach,<br />
liver, heart, tendons, muscles,<br />
joints and blood vessels.<br />
Experts say that as sound<br />
waves, rather than radiation are<br />
used, ultrasound scans are<br />
safe. Obstetric sonography is<br />
frequently used to check the<br />
baby in the womb.<br />
