I currently work in a level III labor and delivery in triage, antepartum, labor and delivery, postpartum, PACU and OR.

In labor I assist with epidurals, monitor vitals for mom and baby, monitor fetal tracings and reactions to medications, assist in delivery of baby. In antepartum I take care of 4-5 patients at a time. I am the circulating nurse in the OR and also follow the patient to PACU. I am fluent in charting and type 65 wpm. I am certified in NRP and ACLS.
