Henrico Doctors’ Hospital is seeking a Labor and Delivery Registered Nurse to provide exceptional direct patient care during the intrapartum period. The unit respects patient choices and preferences and supports births ranging from low-intervention to high-intervention care for low-risk and high-risk patients. It assists an average of 4,400 births annually and provides 24/7 coverage with OB hospitalists, certified nurse midwives, anesthesia services, a perinatologist, a neonatologist, and a newborn admission nurse. The team also works closely with a perinatal nurse navigator and perinatal social worker, with support from a 40-bed Level III NICU, a 21-bed OB antepartum unit, and a 35-bed Mother Baby Unit. Available resources include two types of wireless fetal monitoring, multiple pain-management options, and deep soaking tubs. The nurse keeps patients central to decision-making by assessing maternal and fetal status, providing appropriate interventions, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, communicating and documenting patient conditions, and educating and supporting families throughout the birth experience. The role calls for professional communication, accountability, and commitment to nursing care in labor and delivery.
