Labor & Delivery OB RN - Obstetrics Registered Nurse

We are currently offering a 10% sign-on bonus for experienced Labor and Delivery (L&D) Registered Nurses with two or more years of experience.

As a Labor & Delivery Nurse at Glendale Memorial Medical Center, now part of CommonSpirit Health formed between Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health, you’ll guide patients through the labor and childbirth process, focusing on the safety of the mother and baby, with kindness and compassion.

As a nurse in this department, you will have varying roles and responsibilities. You may work in Obstetrics - triaging patients or perform screening exams on walk-ins or you may guide patients through a routine induction and delivery. You’re busy monitoring the mother’s dilation progress while also keeping close watch on the baby’s fetal heart rate. You\'ll be coaching mom as the baby is delivered and providing updates and support to the patient’s partner and loved ones.

Above all else, you must remain calm in an emergency. A patient’s status can change quickly and it’s never good for the patient or family to see the nurse in a panic. Triage walk-ins to determine if a patient is in labor, water is broken, false alarm, etc
