Job description

May be Eligible for up to a $3,750 Sign-On Bonus

WACHU, as it is known, is often the most joyous unit of Cheshire Medical Center. You will find it well-equipped for a small, community hospital, with four labor rooms, one operating room, and separate facilities for postpartum patients. The unit offers hydrotherapy for pain management in labor, includes a nursery for infant testing or post-resuscitation care, and even has its own negative pressure room. In this unit, you gain experience in everything from labor and delivery to postpartum mothers and babies and gynecological patients.

The WACHU is baby-friendly, although we care for a wide variety of patients and use a lot of skills. We have a wide range of experience levels on the unit, and we are a great team; we really work well together and care about each other. You will provide nursing care to patients from infancy through the adult lifespan, utilizing knowledge of age-related growth and development to individualize the nursing process in accordance with the nursing philosophy and objectives, the standards of care, and the standards of practice. You can expect to work 12-hour shifts on a four-week schedule, with every other weekend off. Your orientation and training will be extensive, usually eight weeks in postpartum and 12 weeks in labor and delivery. Additional certifications available include Neonatal Resuscitation Program, STABLE, AWHONN Intermediate Fetal Monitoring, and NCC nursing certifications. Growth and advancement are encouraged through committee and meeting involvement, shared governance, practice improvement projects, and charge nurse training. “I want our patients, our team, and the organization to succeed, because this is my hospital, these are my people, and this is my community,” says the unit leader. “I take it very personally.”

Qualifications: Must be a graduate of an accredited nursing program. Previous medical-surgical RN experience required; Pediatric experience preferred. Current New Hampshire RN license required. Neonatal resuscitation is required but may be obtained after hire. NACOG certification desirable.
