About The Position

The Registered Nurse (RN) in Labor and Delivery (L&D) is responsible for providing comprehensive care to women during labor, delivery, and the immediate postpartum period. The RN in this specialty is skilled in managing both routine and high-risk pregnancies, monitoring fetal and maternal well-being, and assisting with deliveries. The L&D nurse collaborates with obstetricians, midwives, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals to provide safe, compassionate, and effective care to both mothers and newborns.

Key Responsibilities :

Pre-Labor and Admission Assessment :

  • Assess and monitor the health of pregnant women at various stages of labor, including gathering health histories, vital signs, and physical assessments.
  • Perform non-stress tests (NSTs), monitor fetal heart tones, and evaluate uterine activity for signs of labor progression.
  • Educate patients on labor and delivery processes, pain management options, and what to expect during childbirth.

Labor Support and Monitoring :

  • Monitor the progress of labor through regular assessment of contraction patterns, cervical dilation, fetal heart rate, and maternal vital signs.
  • Administer medications, including epidurals, Pitocin, and pain relief options, as prescribed, and monitor their effects.
  • Provide continuous emotional support and pain management throughout the labor process, using comfort measures, including positioning, breathing techniques, and offering encouragement.
  • Assist with amniotomy, if necessary, and other procedures as directed by the healthcare team.
  • Assisting with Delivery :

  • Assist obstetricians or midwives during vaginal deliveries, including providing instrumentation assistance, suctioning, and other necessary actions during the birth.
  • Participate in cesarean section procedures by ensuring the sterile field, assisting with the delivery process, and providing immediate newborn care after birth.
  • Perform neonatal resuscitation and initial assessment of the newborn’s health immediately after delivery.
  • Postpartum Care :

  • Monitor the health and recovery of both the mother and the newborn in the immediate postpartum period, including assessing vital signs, bleeding, and uterine tone.
  • Assist with breastfeeding support, including teaching proper latch techniques, positioning, and addressing any concerns related to infant care.
  • Provide education on postpartum recovery, self-care, and newborn care, such as diapering, bathing, and recognizing signs of illness.
  • Documentation and Reporting :

  • Document all assessments, interventions, medications, and patient progress accurately in the electronic health record (EHR) to maintain compliance with hospital policies and legal standards.
  • Maintain accurate and timely records of labor and delivery processes, including patient and fetal monitoring results.
  • Collaboration and Communication :

  • Work closely with obstetricians, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and other healthcare team members to plan and implement individualized care for each patient.
  • Communicate clearly with patients and families about the progress of labor, potential complications, and available options, ensuring that informed consent is obtained for procedures when necessary.
  • Infection Control and Safety :

  • Follow infection control procedures to maintain a safe and sterile environment for labor, delivery, and postpartum care.
  • Ensure that all equipment used during labor and delivery is properly sterilized and functioning, including fetal monitoring devices, IV pumps, and delivery instruments.
  • Emergency and High-Risk Situations :

  • Recognize signs of complications, such as fetal distress, preeclampsia, and hemorrhage, and initiate appropriate interventions or escalate care as needed.
  • Respond to obstetric emergencies, such as shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture, and neonatal resuscitation, utilizing appropriate protocols and teamwork.
  • Administer medications and interventions for high-risk pregnancies, including managing complications like hypertension, gestational diabetes, or infections.
  • Patient Education and Advocacy :

  • Provide education and support to patients and families regarding labor, delivery options, newborn care, and postpartum recovery.
  • Advocate for patient preferences and informed decision-making, ensuring that patients have access to the resources they need to make choices about their care.
