Registered Nurse - Newborn Transitional Nurse Labor Delivery

Registered Nurse – Newborn Transitional Nurse Labor & Delivery

Job Category:
Nursing

Schedule:

Full time
Shift: 1 – Day Shift

This role focuses on providing specialized, compassionate care to newborns during their critical transition from birth to postnatal life. Key responsibilities include attending deliveries, initiating Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) interventions as needed, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and supporting families during this important experience.

The nurse will work collaboratively with physicians and the broader healthcare team to ensure each infant receives high‑quality, individualized care.

The ideal candidate is a registered nurse with experience in neonatal or pediatric settings, strong clinical assessment skills, and a compassionate, family‑centered approach to care.

This unit is comprised of L&D and a separate L&D triage area. We have 24‑hour perinatologists, neonatologists, and anesthesiologists (dedicated to OB) along with obstetric physicians and two groups of midwives. We are a high‑risk antepartum and intrapartum unit including 16 LDR beds, 8 antepartum outpatient beds, 4 NST bays and 3 pre‑op and post‑op beds. We have three dedicated L&D ORs for scheduled C‑Sections and unscheduled cases such as cerclage placement or removal.

We also do emergent cases such as a laboring patient who needs a C‑Section for arrest of dilation or descent or fetal intolerance of labor, hysterectomy or D&C for hemorrhage. Our nurses are unique in that they are trained to be the pre‑op nurse, intraoperative nurse (circulator), and PACU nurse for all OR cases, along with the nurse for the newborn after delivery.

We care for triage patients; ante‑partum patients (both outpatient and inpatient if high risk or unstable); intrapartum, and pre‑op and post‑op patients. Our triage nurses see pregnant women over 20 weeks of gestation for obstetrical concerns. They also take care of patients with scheduled procedures such as non‑stress tests and versions. We currently do over 5,500 deliveries a year. We currently have 14 nurses certified in Inpatient Obstetrics through NCC.

Several nurses also have a subspecialty certification in electronic fetal monitoring. All nurses in L&D are certified in NRP and ACLS.
