Labor and Delivery Nurse Jobs

What Is a Labor and Delivery Nurse?

 

A labor and delivery nurse supports patients through labor, childbirth, and the first stages of recovery after delivery. Often called an L&D nurse, these registered nurses care for both the birthing patient and baby while helping the care team respond to the changing needs of each delivery.

 

From tracking contractions and fetal heart rates to administering medications and assisting during birth, L&D nurses balance clinical skill with calm, attentive care. Every shift can bring something different, making adaptability, communication, and sound judgment essential to the specialty.

Certification & Licensure for Labor and Delivery Nurses

 

Labor and delivery nurses need an active registered nurse license for the state where they work. L&D positions may also call for Basic Life Support (BLS), Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) provider status, fetal monitoring education, and recent labor and delivery experience, depending on the facility.

 

A multistate license can allow eligible travel L&D nurses to practice in participating Nurse Licensure Compact states, while other states require their own license. Not sure what you need for your next assignment? Your recruiter walks you through it, so you’re not left guessing.
