Job Description:
(4 openings) for Registered Nurse, Women's Services opportunity with our Hospital, which is a part of Lifepoint Health, a diversified healthcare delivery network with facilities coast to coast. There are 4 vacancies for this role.

The Women's Services unit is a small, close-knit team that provides care across the full continuum of women's services, including Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, and Antepartum. 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.

A Registered Nurse who excels in this role communicates with multidisciplinary team members by sharing pertinent patient data and needs, provides accurate and timely handoff communications, and keeps patients and families informed about their care. The RN establishes individualized nursing diagnoses based on assessment data, formulates and adjusts the care plan in collaboration with patients and families, and promptly identifies and addresses patient and family care needs, with regular assessment and reassessment of patients and documentation of their response to treatment.

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. The RN initiates and maintains amnio infusion, and demonstrates NG tube placement and feeding. This role also assists with orientation and training of others and supervises other staff.
