About Labor/Delivery per diem work
Labor and delivery nurses support patients through labor, birth, and immediate recovery. Typical duties include fetal monitoring and interpretation, labor progression assessment, medication administration, circulating or assisting during cesarean deliveries, and immediate newborn stabilization alongside the delivery team.
Per-diem L&D shifts typically appear in hospital birthing units where volume is inherently unpredictable — births do not follow a schedule, so units often need flexible coverage on nights, weekends, and surge days. The specialty requires calm decision-making in fast-changing situations and close teamwork with providers, midwives, and NICU staff.
Credential and licensure expectations vary by state and care setting, and typically include:
- Active RN license for the state where the shift is located (state requirements vary)
- BLS and NRP certifications are commonly required; ACLS is frequently requested
- Electronic fetal monitoring competency is typically expected
- Recent labor and delivery experience is generally requested for per-diem placement
