Job Overview
  • This position involves working in a fast-paced environment, collaborating with obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals to deliver safe and effective care to mothers and newborns.

The Registered Nurse (RN) in Labor and Delivery (L&D) provides comprehensive care to women during labor, delivery, and postpartum periods. They are responsible for managing routine and high-risk pregnancies, monitoring fetal and maternal well-being, and assisting with deliveries.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Pre-Labor and Admission Assessment:
    • Conduct thorough health assessments, monitor vital signs, and gather essential information about patients' medical histories.
    • Evaluate uterine activity, perform non-stress tests (NSTs), and monitor fetal heart tones to track labor progression.
    • Provide patients with information about labor and delivery processes, pain management options, and what to expect during childbirth.
  • Labor Support and Monitoring:
    • Regularly assess labor progress through contraction patterns, cervical dilation, fetal heart rate, and maternal vital signs.
    • Administer medications as prescribed, including epidurals, Pitocin, and pain relief options, and monitor their effects on patients.
    • Offer emotional support and comfort measures, such as positioning, breathing techniques, and encouragement, to help patients manage pain and discomfort.
    • Assist with amniotomy and other procedures as directed by the healthcare team.
  • Assisting with Delivery:
    • Support obstetricians or midwives during vaginal deliveries, providing instrumentation assistance, suctioning, and other necessary actions.
    • Participate in cesarean section procedures by ensuring the sterile field, assisting with the delivery process, and providing immediate newborn care after birth.
    • Perform neonatal resuscitation and initial assessment of the newborn's health immediately after delivery.
  • Postpartum Care:
    • Monitor the health and recovery of both the mother and the newborn in the immediate postpartum period, assessing vital signs, bleeding, and uterine tone.
    • Support breastfeeding by 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.
    • Record 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 develop individualized care plans for each patient.
    • Communicate effectively with patients and families about labor progress, potential complications, and available options, ensuring informed consent when necessary.
  • Infection Control and Safety:
    • Follow established infection control procedures to maintain a safe and sterile environment for labor, delivery, and postpartum care.
    • Ensure that 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, like shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture, and neonatal resuscitation, utilizing protocols and teamwork.
    • Manage high-risk pregnancies, including hypertension, gestational diabetes, or infections, and administer medications accordingly.
  • Patient Education and Advocacy:
    • Provide education and support to patients and families regarding labor, delivery options, newborn care, and postpartum recovery.
    • Advocate for patients' preferences and informed decision-making, ensuring access to necessary resources.
