Where You Will Work

Our Level II Labor & Delivery/Postpartum unit provides care for patients delivering at 32 weeks gestation and above, with protocols in place to stabilize and transfer those under 32 weeks to a Level III facility. The unit includes 9 labor rooms, 12 postpartum rooms (shared with med-surg patients, though OB nurses care only for OB patients), 3 triage bays, and 2 dedicated OB operating rooms. We average 100 deliveries per month, totaling 1,183 last year. The team consists of 6 in-house OB/GYNs, anesthesia on-call exclusively for OB (typically in-house or nearby), and a neonatal nurse practitioner available 24/7 for high-risk deliveries. Lactation support is available seven days a week through two full-time and two casual consultants, and an educator with flexible hours supports both day and night shifts. Nurses are trained in both labor and postpartum care, and staffing ratios follow AWHONN guidelines: 1:1 for labor and recovery, 1:2 for cervical ripening and high-risk/magnesium postpartum, and 1:3 for postpartum couplets. The charge RN and triage RN are unassigned to serve as resources to the team. Average length of stay is 24–48 hours for vaginal deliveries and 48–72 hours for cesarean sections. What makes our unit special includes OB emergency simulations held at the Simulation Center in Mount Pleasant, an annual community Baby Fair hosted by the OB/NICU/Postpartum team, a dedicated bereavement workgroup, and prenatal lactation visits offered between 28–34 weeks gestation, along with outpatient and video visit options.
