Job Summary

This is a Labor and Delivery travel nursing position on a fast-paced, high-acuity Birthing Care Unit supporting obstetrical patients 16 weeks and greater for all intrapartum and for high-risk antepartum and postpartum care, as well as under-16-weeks high-risk patients on the high-risk maternity unit.

The Birthing Care Unit includes an obstetrical triage unit to allow for screening of patients prior to admission and to perform routine outpatient procedures such as antenatal fetal surveillance, intravenous hydration, and medication administration.
