The unit includes 4 triage beds, 3 Labor & Delivery recovery rooms, 10 Postpartum/Post-Operative rooms, and 2 Antepartum rooms. Because of the unit's size and scope, nurses have the opportunity to support patients through multiple stages of care while working within a collaborative, team-focused environment.

Using an interdisciplinary approach, the RN initiates discharge planning, and provides patient and family education regarding hospitalization, medications, and discharge preparation, including follow-up and referral needs. Safe medication practices (Read Back, double checks) are used throughout, with medication reconciliation completed on admission, transfer, and discharge.
Clinical responsibilities include caring for patients on Mag sulfate for preeclampsia or preterm labor, Pitocin induction/augmentation, fetal demise, labor and delivery, and post-operative cesarean section, gynecology, and pediatric care. The role also includes caring for infants requiring oxygen, IV antibiotics, or phototherapy, evaluating non-stress tests, assisting with intrauterine pressure catheter insertion, assisting with and caring for infants after circumcision, caring for preterm infants, and performing car seat tests.
