Profession
Obstetric Nurse
Humanized and safe childbirth
An obstetric nurse cares for women and families during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the days right after birth. On a typical shift, you monitor mothers and babies, track contractions and fetal heart rate, give medications, support patients through labor, assist during deliveries and cesarean births, and teach new parents about feeding, safety, and recovery. You work with obstetricians, midwives, anesthesia providers, and newborn nurses, and you recognize emergencies fast when something changes.
