Maternity suites usually refer to labor, delivery, postpartum, and recovery all in one room (assuming it's an uncomplicated labor, of course). However, where I worked, there was a labor and delivery staff who took care of the patient until about 2 hours after delivery, and then there's a postpartum/mother-baby staff who takes care of the mom/baby until discharge. Maybe that's what it's about. Hope that helps a bit....

This may be a dumb question, but who better to ask than allnurses.com!
I am a new graduate nurse applying to a new grad job listed as "maternity suites". In this particular hospital they also have jobs (not new grad) listed as "labor and delivery unit". Could someone clue me in to the differences so I don't say something stupid in my cover letter?
Thanks for any help!
