The Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Center for Women's Health & Wellness offers a new model for women's healthcare on the Seacoast. Inpatient care consists of two Certified Nurse Midwives per shift who work together to provide primary coverage of the Women and Children's unit, with an in-house OB/GYN physician present at all times for consultation, collaboration, or transfer of care when clinically indicated. The unit is also staffed with 24/7 in-house NICU and anesthesia providers. Our spacious and comfortable Birth Center welcomes more than 1,700 babies each year, making us the most popular center on the Seacoast. Private rooms offer mom, baby and family all the comforts of home, while facilitating education of the whole family by our nurses on caring for a new baby and postpartum care.
We are seeking a part-time, 30-hour Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) to support our inpatient and outpatient clinic teams.
