Labor and Delivery Nurses typically work for hospitals of various sizes. Some work in birthing centers under the supervision of a Midwife. While general Registered Nurses often work with a variety of patients with different medical conditions, Labor and Delivery Nurses only work with patients who are delivering their babies. They monitor and support patients in the labor and delivery department, helping with every stage from the time expectant mothers are admitted until they’re discharged. They also help new parents learn how to care for their babies and support their emotional needs in addition to their physical needs.
