• Patient population includes obstetrical patients 16 weeks and greater for intrapartum, high-risk antepartum, and postpartum care; high-risk patients under 16 weeks are also cared for on the high-risk maternity unit
• Unit includes an obstetrical triage area for patient screening, antenatal fetal surveillance, IV hydration, medication administration, and outpatient procedures

• Double labor assignments occur daily on this unit
• Night shift: 3x12-hour shifts, 18:45–07:15

• Candidates with OR circulate experience are strongly preferred given the volume of Cesarean births performed
• Orientation is 24 hours, held weekly; pre-start modules (approximately 8–10 hours) must be completed before the first day and annually thereafter
• Candidates must work 2 out of 3 major holidays
• RTO is not permitted during the first week of assignment due to orientation; RTO of 7 days or fewer may be approved provided it does not fall on a holiday — additional RTO requires facility approval
