The Registered Nurse works on the 8T Mother Baby Nursing Unit at Carolinas Medical Center, a 36-room unit that accommodates mothers and newborns together and includes a newborn nursery for infants needing continued medical care. The unit provides comprehensive obstetrical care to a diverse, multicultural patient population. Typical patients are postpartum mothers and their newborns after vaginal or cesarean deliveries, with or without complications. Newborns are generally stable but may need interventions such as blood tests, glucose monitoring, car seat testing, or phototherapy. Before discharge, newborns receive hearing and state-mandated screenings. The typical nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:3–4 couplets. The RN provides and coordinates comprehensive patient care through the nursing process, delivering safe, therapeutic care in accordance with established standards, policies, and procedures. The role applies evidence-based practice, clinical decision-making, compassion, and communication skills to support a safe patient environment and a positive patient experience across the continuum of care. This is a part-time weekender role scheduled Saturdays and Sundays from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., totaling 24 hours per week. The listed pay range is $38.20–$57.30 per hour.
