Labor and Delivery Nurse Resume

There is nothing satisfying and rewarding than assisting pregnant women during labor and childbirth and holding the newborn in hands. This noble job is done by labor and delivery nurses. These nurses take care of pregnant women during and after delivery process, including the newborn as well as guide the mother on feeding the baby. They monitor vital signs of the mother and baby and educate mothers and families on taking care of the new mother and baby after discharge.
