What does a labor and delivery nurse do?
== == The labor and delivery nurse is responsible for interpreting the fetal heart rate, cervical change, and the status of the patient. We are responsible for initiiating inductions, assisting the laboring patient with pain control or helping those who chose to labor unmedicated. Once the patient is completely dilated we begin the pushing process, and call for the physician once the baby is ready to be delivered.
