I work in a LDRP unit where we usually have 6 RNs staffed each shift and do about 80-100 deliveries a month. When a patient is about to deliver, a RN comes in and is the baby nurse. Right now we have it that the baby nurse is in charge of resuscitation as needed, the initial assessment, 2 sets of vitals 30 minutes apart, and notifying the resident of the newborn/putting in orders. Also the meds and measurements if baby isn't doing skin-to-skin. What is your baby nurse responsible for? Does it change for lady partsl vs C-section deliveries? Also who assumes care for the baby if there is a maternal emergency?
