RN PRN - Postpartum

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Hillcrest Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. Hillcrest Hospital is recognized as one of the top hospitals in the country. Here, you will work with and learn from some of our best caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.    

The 31-bed Antepartum and Postpartum Surgery Unit provides specialized surgical and medical care to pregnant and postpartum patients requiring operative or procedural intervention before or after delivery. As an RN on the Postpartum team, you will closely monitor the mother after delivery to detect complications early. The postpartum period can involve major emotional changes. Nurses screen mothers for mood disorders such as Postpartum Depression and provide emotional support, reassurance and referrals if needed. Postpartum nurses also encourage practices like skin-to-skin contact and rooming-in, which strengthen the bond between parent and baby and support successful feeding and development. On this team, you can experience career growth as you strength your nursing skills with each interaction.
