About The Position
The In-House Agency RN Program offers PRN employment for 13-week intervals in the Perinatal and/or Labor & Delivery inpatient units.

The Registered Nurse provides direct patient care in the UAMS Perinatal (E6) and/or Labor & Delivery (E5) units, located in the Harry P. Ward Clinical Tower. These units deliver comprehensive, high-risk obstetrical care to patients from across the state. The Perinatal Unit (E6) features 28 rooms and a newborn procedure area, supporting postpartum, well newborn, high-risk antepartum, and gynecologic patients. The Labor & Delivery Unit (E5) includes 14 LDR suites, triage beds, operating rooms, recovery space, and neonatal stabilization rooms, with approximately 300–330 deliveries per month. Both units emphasize patient- and family-centered care, allowing stable newborns to remain with their mothers to promote bonding.
