The labor/delivery nurse is specialized in the birthing process so they basically do everything. They take your blood pressure, check how much your cervix has dilated, check the position of the baby, check the baby's heart rate, monitor your pain management, give you advice on what to expect next in the birthing process, they will tell you when to push and how to breathe, keep in touch with the doctor so they might be there at the last minute to watch the birth.
After the birth of the baby they will deliver the placenta and check how that looks because it can tell a lot about the baby's wellbeing - it was the baby's life support for the 9 months.
Then when the baby is born they will check the time of delivery, check the baby's vital signs regularly over a 5 minute period, check the baby's weight, height and head circumference. There are a few specific tests to check the baby's natural responses to certain stimuli and the nurse will perform these before you even know it. They will then wrap the baby up in some warm sheets and introduce you to your baby for the 1st time. They will also keep checking your progress by monitoring your BP and heart rate. When they think you're ok to get up, they will take you to a shower to wash and clean up. If there are any problems they know the warning signs to look out for and there are certain procedures to follow for different problems.
