Henderson, Nevada

St. Rose Dominican Siena

The Labor Registered Nurse triages and cares for laboring patients under the direction of the Maternal Child Manager/Director. Additional patient populations served by the labor nurse include ante-partum, post partum/newborn, and post-gynecological.

The registered nurse employs critical thinking to integrate objective data with knowledge gained from an assessment of the subjective experiences of patients. Registered nurses use this critical thinking process to apply the best available evidence and research data to the processes of diagnosis and treatment.

Nurses continually evaluate quality and effectiveness of nursing practice and seek to optimize outcomes. Medical/clinical knowledge, technical and clinical skills, clinical judgment, interpersonal skills and communication as indicated in the current Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals are essential components of nursing practice.

All registered nurses practice within the scopes and standards of practice set forth by the American Nurses Association.
