Description:
Join a dynamic family-centered unit where every day offers variety and meaningful patient connections.
Nurses in this role provide comprehensive care to mothers and newborns throughout labor, delivery, recovery, and the postpartum period.
This role is ideal for adaptable, skilled nurses who thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
Key responsibilities include providing care for laboring, delivering, and postpartum mothers and their newborns in a combined setting.
You will manage continuous fetal monitoring and assist with both vaginal and cesarean deliveries.
Deliver immediate newborn care, support breastfeeding, and provide patient education.
Handle antepartum admissions, post-delivery recovery, and newborn assessments.
Collaborate closely with providers and support staff.
