Open Question: Steps to being a RN with OB/GYN or L/D or Midwife practice?

Hi, I am currently waiting to start school in the spring.

I am going to be doing a CNA class to get Certified .. then eventually Registered. Hoping to knock out of pre-reqs for the Nursing Programs in Washington State ….

I am hoping to next year (winter) to get into a ADN program at any of the local community colleges … getting my LPN, first year, then RN second year.

If my plan goes as I hope it does, or even takes longer than that, cause the program is full … what steps do I take afterwards to become a RN, that works with OBGYN or the L & D Ward at Hospitals. I know I have to have 1 to 2 years of experience, so that would be the first step getting a job as a RN … first .. but what steps can i take to help me advance and get more experience …

(any advice or tips would be awesome)

…. oh on another note … if anyone knwos what YWAM is, I can do my DTS this summer for 6 months … and then next July 2011 .. go and do a BAS, which is a Birthing Attendant School, where for a year, I learn midwifery curriculum and go into the field of third world courntries and work with young mothers for womens health and care and education and pregnant women, and actually get to put my skills to practice and deliver babies and offer pre-natal and post natal care … I am excited at the chance to maybe do this … would this help me out that much more when it comes to this??? I would be getting my CNA first .. but probably wouldn’t be able to get my LPN …. so good idea or bad??

Thanks in advance everyone .. idiotic answers just for points will be ignored …
I did a little more research … and I need my ADN, then my BSN … and possibly I could do a Hospital Diploma in lieu or on top of both degrees ….

Generally about how much on average will my Associates then Bachelors cost.
