Labor Nursing

Bringing new life into the world is one of the most significant tasks for labour and delivery (L&D) nurses in all of nursing. L&D nurses' main responsibility is to deliver healthy newborns and safely assist moms during the arduous process of delivery. They support expectant moms while they go through contractions and provide them encouragement and tips on how to handle the unpleasant procedure more easily. During the first several weeks following delivery, L&D nurses also look after and advise the mother. L&D nurses have a very significant and potentially very rewarding function.
