About The Position

We are seeking a skilled LDRP Registered Nurse to provide labor and delivery, postpartum, and related surgical and medical care. The department has 7 labor and delivery beds, 12 postpartum beds, 8 surgical C-section beds, 1 dedicated OR suite, and 3 triage beds, with 643 annual births. Common patient needs include obstetric, antepartum, triage, and postpartum care; gestational hypertension and diabetes; magnesium sulfate treatment; preeclampsia; and postoperative care, including hysterectomies, bladder repairs, and mastectomies.

The nurse works with patient ratios of 1:1–2 in labor and delivery, 1:2–3 couplets in postpartum, and 1:3–4 for surgical or medical patients. Nurses titrate drips such as pitocin and magnesium sulfate, as well as occasional insulin drips. A charge nurse is present on each shift, takes assignments, and participates in deliveries. Nursing support includes OB scrub techs, unit clerks, and nursing student techs. Nurses are expected to scrub during procedures as needed.
