- Active Labor Case Management: Manage low-risk and high-risk laboring patients, executing ongoing holistic physiological assessments and adjusting plan-of-care milestones dynamically.
- Electronic Fetal Monitoring ($EFM$): Continuously analyze and interpret fetal heart rate tracings (evaluating baseline variability, accelerations, and decelerations), implementing immediate intrauterine resuscitation interventions for non-reassuring patterns.
- Pharmacological Interventions: Initiate, titrate, and monitor high-alert obstetric infusions, including oxytocin, magnesium sulfate protocols, and continuous epidural infusions.
- Operative Delivery Scrub & Circulation: Circulate or assist during scheduled and emergent Cesarean sections, forceps/vacuum deliveries, and postpartum tubal ligations within the dedicated L&D surgical suites.
- Immediate Neonatal Stabilization: Partner with the delivery team to provide immediate post-delivery care, utilizing advanced NRP guidelines for newborns requiring resuscitation or airway stabilization.
- Delegation & Oversight: Appropriately delegate tasks to and supervise non-licensed assistive personnel (CNA/OB Techs) to maintain a highly efficient, clean, and safe unit footprint.

- Experience: Minimum 2 years of dedicated inpatient Labor & Delivery experience within an acute care environment.
- Regulatory Compliance: Proven adherence to the Washington Nurse Practice Act and evidence-based obstetric standards (AWHONN guidelines).
