    • Educate patients on labor and delivery processes, pain management options, and what to expect during childbirth.
  • Labor Support and Monitoring:
    • Monitor labor progress through regular assessment of contraction patterns, cervical dilation, fetal heart rate, and maternal vital signs.
    • Administer medications, including epidurals, Pitocin, and pain relief options, as prescribed, and monitor their effects.
    • Provide continuous emotional support and pain management throughout labor using comfort measures, positioning, breathing techniques, and encouragement.
    • Assist with amniotomy, if necessary, and other procedures directed by the healthcare team.
  • Assisting with Delivery:
    • Assist obstetricians or midwives during vaginal deliveries, providing instrumentation assistance, suctioning, and other necessary actions during birth.
    • Participate in cesarean section procedures by ensuring the sterile field, assisting with delivery, and providing immediate newborn care after birth.
    • Perform neonatal resuscitation and initial newborn assessment immediately after delivery.
  • Postpartum Care:
    • Monitor the health and recovery of both mother and newborn in the postpartum period, assessing vital signs, bleeding, and uterine tone.
    • Assist with breastfeeding support, teaching proper latch techniques, positioning, and addressing concerns related to infant care.
    • Provide education on postpartum recovery, self-care, and newborn care, including diapering, bathing, and recognizing signs of illness.
  • Documentation and Reporting:
    • Document all assessments, interventions, medications, and patient progress accurately in the electronic health record (EHR) to maintain compliance with hospital policies and legal standards.
    • Maintain accurate and timely records of labor and delivery processes, including patient and fetal monitoring results.
  • Collaboration and Communication:
    • Work closely with obstetricians, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and other healthcare team members to plan and implement individualized care for each patient.
    • Communicate clearly with patients and families about labor progress, potential complications, and available options, ensuring informed consent for procedures when necessary.
  • Infection Control and Safety:
    • Follow infection control procedures to maintain a safe and sterile environment for labor, delivery, and postpartum care.
    • Ensure equipment used during labor and delivery is properly sterilized and functioning, including fetal monitoring devices, IV pumps, and delivery instruments.
  • Emergency and High-Risk Situations:
    • Recognize signs of complications, such as fetal distress, preeclampsia, and hemorrhage, and initiate appropriate interventions or escalate care as needed.
    • Respond to obstetric emergencies, such as shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture, and neonatal resuscitation, utilizing protocols and teamwork.
    • Administer medications and interventions for high-risk pregnancies, managing complications like hypertension, gestational diabetes, or infections.
  • Patient Education and Advocacy:
    • Provide education and support to patients and families regarding labor, delivery options, newborn care, and postpartum recovery.
    • Advocate for patient preferences and informed decision-making, ensuring access to resources for making choices about care.

Salary: Estimated salary range $104,667 - $139,947 per year based on 12-hour shifts and 36 hours per week. Pay package includes tax-free stipend amount to be determined.
