What do Obstetrics & Gynecology Nurse Practitioners do?
An Obstetrics and Gynecology Nurse Practitioner (OB/GYN NP) is a registered nurse with advanced training who specializes in the reproductive and sexual health of women, providing care from adolescence through menopause.
Their services include prenatal care, family planning, annual well-woman exams, STI screenings, and management of gynecological conditions, and sometimes even assistance during labor and delivery.
What they do
OB/GYN NPs offer a wide range of services, such as:
Preventative Care: Conducting annual well-woman exams, health screenings, and immunizations.
Family Planning: Providing consultations on fertility, birth control, and family planning services.
Pregnancy Care: Offering comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care, monitoring fetal growth, and managing high-risk pregnancies.
Gynecological Care: Diagnosing and treating reproductive health issues, performing pelvic exams and Pap smears, and managing menopausal care.
Disease Management: Screening for and treating sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Procedures: Performing minor procedures, such as IUD insertions and removals, and assisting in deliveries.
Broader Scope: The role of the OB/GYN NP, also known as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP), has expanded to encompass a broader range of primary care services for women.
Team Collaboration: They work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, including midwives, physicians, medical assistants, and lab technicians.
Comparison to Midwives: While Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) also specialize in pregnancy and reproductive health, WHNPs often provide a more comprehensive scope of primary care for women of all ages.
How to become an Obstetrics & Gynecology Nurse Practitioner
To become an OB/GYN NP, one typically needs experience as a Registered Nurse (RN) in a related field, such as labor and delivery, followed by further graduate-level education and certification.
