Overview
As our Labor & Delivery Nurse at CHI St Vincent Hot Springs youll guide patients through the labor and childbirth process focusing on the safety of the mother and baby with kindness and compassion.
As a nurse in this department you will have varying roles and responsibilities. You may work in Obstetrics - triaging patients or perform screening exams on walk-ins or you may guide patients through a routine induction and delivery. Youre busy monitoring the mothers dilation progress while also keeping close watch on the babys fetal heart rate. Youll be coaching mom as the baby is delivered and providing updates and support to the patients partner and loved ones.
To thrive in this role youll need to appreciate that routine is never routine. We have some wonderful days in this department and get to be with people through huge milestones in their lives.
