I will soon be off to college but the only thing is that I want to go to school out of state. I live in North Carolina and I want to be a nurse that deliver babies....Do anyone know the professional name for that? So I really do need for the University to be KNOWN for it's medical system or schooling... oh yea I can't afford to go to a private University...

Why do you want the extra added expense of going out of state for what you could essentially complete with a two-year degree?
My bad - 2 years for a basic RN degree - can still be an L&D nurse that way.
4 - years for a BSN, a bit more money, qualifying for a management position.
Yes, she could go on and become a certified nurse midwife as well...masters degree and more money...definitely higher liability on the part of the physician who takes her into his/her practice as well as increasing the liability of the physicians that service as this particular physician's back up. Not to mention the difficulty some hospitals pose to getting CNMs credentialled.
But what a minute. I'm sorry...I know NOTHING about the nursing field.

Becoming a licensed Midwife, a type of advanced practice nurse, will take about 6 years. You essentially get an MSN. . You become an RN and then go on for additional training and classes.
Going out of state to a public school will cost you nearly as much as a private school
Check out the American Nurses Association for additional information. Not all universities offer all types of educational programs. And the ANA will probably have the info you need. Communicate with those that have actual experience and education in the field.

I think you are making a mistake thinking about going out of state. The NC state schools are very good and they will be MUCH cheaper than going to any school in another state. The other states will charge you non-resident tuition and fees which will make those schools as expensive as if you were at a private school.
You might want to get away from home, but you know, you can go to Charlotte if you are from eastern NC, or you can go to Raleigh if you are from western NC! That is further than most kids go if they went from say, New York to Boston!
You need to do a lot more research about nursing and what it consists of if you do not know the name of what you want to study. Go on line and start looking for information about nursing and you will find plenty. During the beginning of your senior year of high school you can apply to the different schools you pick out and start getting your financial aid papers ready.
Good luck!

Going to public school out of state in many cases is equivalent to going to private school.
Nurse that delivers babies is called a midwife.

Idk what the technical name would be but this link will take you to clooege board where i have already typed in info about wnere you want to go to school and what for and you can modify it from there:
http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/servlet/advsearchservlet?buttonPressed=viewResults&navigateTo=9&viewpage=1
In that link i included private schools, in this one they are only public schools: http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/servlet/advsearchservlet?buttonPressed=viewResults&navigateTo=9&viewpage=1
You will definatly want to modify both as both have over 1,000 schools offered, b/c you said out of state I included every state except NC.
Also, don't think you can't go to private school because you can't afford it. You can take out loans, and it you are very poor ( and your parents are too) you can get better financial aid going to a private school. I went to JWU(private school) in RI, do NOT go there, it was AWFUL!!!! BUT, not that i have been in community college for 2yrs I will be paying back $2,550 less than if i had stayed there. I have had to take out more private loans because my grants and federal loans have been reduced. Also, at a private school I had work study, which is a job through school and I don't gget that here. and most work study jobs pay better that working in a store while at school, also, you get to do your homework and meet all kinds of people.
