RN Anesthesia Care
About The Position
The Anesthesia Care Nurse (ACN) coordinates anesthesia care on Labor and Delivery (L&D), serving as a liaison between labor nurses and anesthesiologists. The role manages labor epidurals, including assisting with placement, dosing, and troubleshooting. The ACN also assists the anesthesiologist with spinal and general anesthesia in the operating room for cesarean sections and other obstetrical procedures.
