Now Looking for Labor & Delivery, Mother/Baby Postpartum, Obstetric High Risk Unit, and Assessment Center RNs!
Our Labor and Delivery Unit was designed exclusively for new moms and babies and we are proud to be a Baby Friendly Hospital. Woman’s has delivered more than 320,000 babies since our inception in 1968, but we still treat every birth as unique and special. Our patient rooms, designed by nurses, offer a home-like setting along with the assurance of having the most advanced technology available. A typical obstetrical patient includes antepartum, observation, outpatient testing, circulating cesarean deliveries, triage and laboring patients who are minimal to high-risk.
Woman’s Mother/Baby Unit incorporates the couplet care model to provide exceptional care to postpartum patients and their newborns. Our 84-bed unit focuses on the delivery of safe, quality-driven patient- and family-centered care that is individualized, equitable, and inclusive. Our current nurse-to-patient ratio is 1 RN to 3 couplets (6 patients).
Our Obstetric High Risk Unit consists of 20 rooms where our nursing staff is specially trained to care for patients with problems related to pregnancy. We provide condition-specific care and intensive monitoring for both patient and baby. Our nurses care for patients on bed rest with high blood pressure, preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes and other problems that sometimes occur with pregnancy. After having a baby some patients require more frequent monitoring and interventions, such as patients with severe hypertension, sepsis, and postpartum hemorrhage not requiring critical care. This unit also cares for patients experiencing a perinatal loss.
The Assessment Center is the designated Emergency Department for the hospital. While functioning as a point of entry for the hospital, we treat a diverse patient population. Primarily, we support the obstetrical patient throughout all stages of their pregnancy. We assess and treat the following in our obstetrical population; labor, hypertension, diabetes, hyperemesis, preterm complications, fetal surveillance as well as early pregnancy complications. We also treat the gynecological, sexual assault, bariatric, oncology and medical/surgical patient. On occasion, we may receive patients who require a higher level of care and we will treat, stabilize and transfer as appropriate.
Responsibilities of the position include but are not limited to:
- Identify patient needs and determine priorities for care through assessment, planning, intervention and evaluation.
- Collaborates with, directs, and may delegate to the interdisciplinary healthcare team in the attainment of positive outcomes based on data, research, evidence, and professional standards of care.
- Coordinates treatment plans; develops/implements discharge and/or transfer plans.
- Provide education and emotional support to patient and family appropriate to age, culture, condition, and circumstance.
- Document care based on standards of care and practice, patient acuity, and/or clinical priority.
- Provide patient centric care in alignment with professional nursing practice standards, ANA Standards & the LA Nurse Practice Act.
- Supervise non-licensed nursing staff within the RN’s scope of practice and in accordance with established policies.
- Perform other duties assigned by Department management according to policies and procedures and the mission of Woman's Hospital.
