Labor and delivery travel nurse career overview.

Labor and delivery travel nurses, also called L&D or LDR travel nurses, are powerful advocates for the health of mothers and babies before, during, and after birth. They monitor mom and baby and assist other members of the birthing team to better ensure a safe delivery. These highly skilled travel nurses play a big role in one of the most important days of so many peoples’ lives, and it’s a very exciting and rewarding nursing specialty. At Nomad Health, we want to give labor and delivery travel nurses the flexibility, pay, and skill-building experiences they’re looking for.

Travel nursing is an exciting way to explore new cities, while also gaining valuable skills in diverse settings. We work with travel nurses and travel allied health professionals across the country, and partner with some of the best facilities in the healthcare industry.

We know relocating can be stressful, so we also offer partial travel reimbursement, a stipend for housing and utilities, and state license and certification reimbursement. 

Traveling labor and delivery nurse job description

Labor and delivery travel nurses work with moms and newborns, referred to as couplets, from admission to discharge. This dynamic is unique to obstetric travel nursing; the nurse is expected to monitor both the mom and the infant at the same time. Because of this, it’s important that these nurses are comfortable working with adult health conditions and pediatric/neonatal patients. The health of mom and baby are their top priorities, and they create an environment for the safest delivery possible. They play a key role in providing client-centered family education, and are important resources of information for moms and families.

As a labor and delivery travel nurse, the facility you take an assignment at can impact the nature of work. For example, some hospitals have more resources and are better equipped to handle different types of high-risk pregnancy issues. Patients who already know they have high-risk needs may be more drawn to seeking care at those facilities, meaning you’d potentially end up working with more high-risk cases. These cases might be high risk due to pregnancy, or for pre-existing conditions such as diabetes mellitus, lupus, or sickle cell disease. It’s also important to consider the patient population’s access to prenatal care. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a lack of access to maternal healthcare can result in a myriad of negative health outcomes, including premature birth, low birth weight, and even maternal mortality.

Labor and delivery travel nurse job requirements, associates or bachelor's degree.

Aspiring L&D travel nurses should start by earning either their Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Bachelor’s in Science of Nursing (BSN) from an accredited nursing program. While a BSN isn’t required, a lot of facilities prefer it and it could increase hireability.

Passing score on NCLEX and bedside experience

After acquiring a degree and passing the NCLEX-RN exam, the newly accredited travel nurse must gain experience at the bedside for about a year before specializing in L&D.

Certifications

Certifications demonstrate dedication and excellence, and could potentially increase hireability and job opportunities. One of the most popular and highly recommended certifications a labor and delivery nurse can get is the Inpatient Obstetric Nursing (RNC-OB) credential from the National Certification Corporation.

According to the NCC website, the RNC-OB is for, “licensed registered nurses in the US and Canada with a minimum of two years of specialty experience in providing care to hospitalized pregnant women during the antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum and newborn periods.” Traveling labor and delivery nurses also need:

• Basic Life Support (BLS)
• Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
• Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)
• Basic Fetal Heart Monitoring

If labor and delivery travel nurses wish to advance in their field, they have the option to become a certified nurse-midwife, or a nurse practitioner in obstetrics and gynecology. Both require additional experience and education, including a Master in Science in Nursing (MSN). It is also possible to become a Certified Childbirth Educator , or a Lactation Consultant .

To stay up to date about labor and delivery best practices for travel nurses, consider these trusted resources:

• Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN)
• American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG)
• World Health Organization

Popular Labor & Delivery Travel Nurse jobs

Labor and delivery travel nurse job responsibilities.

According to Top Nursing, an online resource for nursing programs, some of the typical responsibilities of an L&D nurse include the following:

• timing contractions
• administering medications such as oxytocin and magnesium sulfate
• monitoring the vital signs of both the mother and baby
• helping induce labor
• starting IV lines
• providing assistance during cesareans (c-sections)
• assessing for possible complications

Additionally, L&D travel nurses must anticipate potential complications and being prepared for them. For example, a known history of high blood pressure (hypertension) or kidney disease increases the risk for preeclampsia. Furthermore, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality, and is something LDR travel nurses need to be aware of. It's important to identify risk factors for PPH, closely monitor the couplet, and be familiar with the PPH cart and protocol. Familiarity and comfort with use of rapid infuser equipment is key, as well as mass transfusion procedure.

Admission assessments

During admission assessments, the nurse determines the estimated time of birth, checks the frequency of fetal movement, and looks for other premonitory signs of labor. If applicable, they also find out about any previous pregnancies and/or birthing experiences, start tracking the frequency, duration, and intensity of contractions, and confirm if they have a supportive adult to accompany them during the delivery. During physical assessment, these travel nurses measure fundal height, check uterine activity (including contraction frequency, duration, and intensity), assess the status of membranes (intact of ruptured), and check the following: cervical dilatation, degree of effacement, fetal status, and pain level.

Bedside shift report hand-off

Within labor and delivery travel nursing, there’s extra emphasis on the bedside shift report hand-off. This hand-off can increase patient safety and decrease the risk for communication-related medical errors. L&D is unique in that there are two reports, first on mom then on baby. This practice gives space for increased safety and proper transfer of care, including the patient and environment (infusing high-risk medications, eg. Pitocin). It also increases the patient's confidence in team communication, while putting them at ease about the next caregiver. The transfer and coordination of care at the bedside is also recommended when the couplet (mom and baby) is ready to transfer from LDR to M/B.

Obstetic emergencies

According to Nursing Management in Labor and Birth (Lippincott), the nurse’s role in childbirth is to ensure a safe environment for the mother and the birth of her newborn. It is critical to provide anticipatory guidance and explain each procedure (fetal monitoring, intravenous therapy, medications given, and expected reactions) and what will happen next.Some common obstetric emergencies that L&D travel nurses see include:

• placenta previa
• abruptio placenta
• ruptured uterus
• shoulder dystocia
• prolapsed cord
• postpartum hemorrhage

It is also important to anticipate timely management of mothers who are Group Beta Strep (GBS) positive; nurses administer antibiotics to women who are at increased risk of having a baby who will develop GBS disease. The antibiotics help protect babies from infection, but only if given during labor. Antibiotics cannot be given before labor begins because the bacteria can grow back quickly.

Newborn fall prevention

Another thing that LDR travel nurses need to be aware of is preventing newborn falls. According to the Joint Commission , heightened risk of fall or drop happens during cesarean birth, use of medication within four hours, second or third postpartum night, or during breastfeeding. TJC also lists out some ways to intervene, including providing family education, coaching caregivers to keep bed side rails up when feeding, identifying if mothers or other caregivers are starting to get drowsy, and assist in placing the newborn in their bassinet, among other preventative measures.

Fetal heart monitoring

A large part of an L&D travel nurse’s role includes fetal heart rate monitoring. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, “fetal heart rate monitoring is the process of checking the condition of your fetus during labor and delivery by monitoring your fetus's heart rate with special equipment.” There are two types of fetal monitoring: auscultation and electrical monitoring. The former refers to listening to heart rate using a stethoscope, and the latter includes the use of electrodes. The nurses are interpreting baseline rates, variability, and the presence or absence of accelerations and decelerations. This information is collected and used to prepare and better respond to any potential risks.

L&D travel nurses must be adept at recognizing Category I, II, and III tracings, and know how to respond. For example, a Category I is a normal tracing, which has a baseline 110 to 160 beats per minute with moderate variability and no late or variable decelerations. Accelerations and early decelerations may be present or absent. According to ACOG, monitoring and management of a category I tracing includes intermittent or continuous fetal monitoring based on clinical status and underlying risk factors.

Category III, on the other hand, includes absent baseline variability, recurrent late decelerations, recurrent variable decelerations, or bradycardia, and might indicate an increased risk of fetal acidemia. The L&D nurse must immediately escalate this finding to the provider and interdisciplinary team in order to prepare for delivery. They should also reposition the mother to the left or right lateral and anticipate the need for an intravenous fluid bolus. Other potential interventions for this tracing include scalp stimulation to provoke fetal heart rate acceleration, which is a sign that the fetus is not acidotic. According to ACOG, if there is no improvement after conservative measures and scalp stimulation does not result in acceleration, delivery is advisable.

Newborn identification systems

It’s the responsibility of the nurse to be vigilant while working to give high-quality, safe care. According to a 2018 report published by the Joint Commission ,“Newborns are at high risk of misidentification due to their inability to speak and lack of distinguishable features. Furthermore, they point out that “misidentification has also resulted in feeding a mother’s expressed breastmilk to the wrong newborn, which poses a risk of passing bodily fluids and potential pathogens to the baby.” There are interventions that L&D nurses can use, including distinct naming systems, standardized practices for identification banding, and pre-established staff communication tools.

Patient education

L&D travel nurses spend a lot of time educating their patients, often new mothers, and their families about what to expect both at the hospital and at home. Some specific examples of patient education are general postpartum perineal care, post-episiotomy care, post-C-section wound care, and signs of postpartum depression, or PPD. Sometimes this looks like answering a family’s set of questions about how to care for mom and the baby after being discharged, and sometimes it looks like offering nervous families a little confidence boost. The bond LDR nurses make with their patients is critical; it’s important to build rapport and create a trusting relationship. 

Giving birth is an incredibly physical and emotional experience. Strong L&D nurses are able to navigate the complexities of complications and last minute changes while maintaining clear-but-compassionate communication with mom and the family.

Benefits of being a labor and delivery travel nurse, low nurse-to-patient ratio.

Labor and delivery nurses often have a low nurse-to-patient ratio, especially when compared to other specializations. Due to this, they often get to spend more time with their patients and their families during a monumental life event, and form valuable bonds while gaining experience. That being said, the ratio can vary depending on high risk nature or risk for complications.

In June 2022, the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses published updated standards for nurse staffing covering the continuum of inpatient childbirth and neonatal care. Since the first edition (published in 2010), there has been a substantial amount of evidence linking nurse staffing to patient outcomes.

Safe, high-quality care requires the appropriate number of nurses to provide comprehensive assessment, nursing interventions as needed, emotional and physical support, and discharge education.

Mentally rewarding

L&D travel nursing is also exciting! Delivery can happen at any time of day or night, and can widely vary in how long it takes. Each birthing story and circumstance is different. They have the opportunity to work in hospitals, birthing centers, or even in homes, for at-home births. Labor and delivery nurses get to witness their patients become parents, and the impact they have on their lives is lasting. It’s a very rewarding nursing specialty, and has a lot of room for career advancement.

Ability to travel

As a labor and delivery travel nurse, you'll get invaluable experience working in new and diverse healthcare facilities. Labor and delivery travel nurses are able to gain a broader range of skills and experience which could lend itself to a higher salary down the road. It can also be incredibly fulfilling to be in charge of your career by exclusively doing travel L&D assignments.

Job outlook for labor and delivery travel nurses

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were approximately 3,664,292 births recorded in the United States in 2021. Of those, 10.49% were born preterm, meaning they potentially needed additional care.

The Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research claims that liveborn (newborn infant) is one of the top reasons people are admitted to the hospital. Furthermore, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the field of registered nursing is projected to grow 6% between 2021 and 2031. All that being said, it’s safe to say that the demand for labor and delivery travel nursing will always be there.

Travel Nursing Reviews

Jennifer, rn.

The response time from my recruiter and nurse specialist is amazing! They both have been so great to work with on my first assignment out in California!!! Chad and Samantha both are super caring and very responsive! I already extended my contract with the hospital because of the smooth process. They made the transition from Florida to California a lot loss stressful than I imagined. Would definitely recommend them both!!!

My recruiter, and other staff I have had the pleasure of interacting with, are all so friendly and helpful. My recruiter is responsive, and even reached out while she was on vacation to check on me! I’ve worked with other agencies in the past, but Stability is next level when it comes to making your travel nursing experience as seamless as possible! Special shout out to Lindsay (best recruiter ever) and Tracy. Amazing people to work with.

My recruiter is very responsive and personable. I have NEVER had any issues with them!! This agency even has PTO! None of my co workers with other agencies have this benefit!! Also the rates are equal or higher than most other agencies!! Everything feels more like family than business and for that I would choose stability over any other agency!! I am so happy I chose to work with them!

Sopheare C.

My recruiter Amanda is amazing and always timely with her responses. Debbie who is my nurse experience specialist who is with me all times of the contract is truly awesome. Love how responsive she is and will answer any and all my questions. Big thanks to Jesse my compliance coordinator for making all the appointments and getting me travel ready. Can’t thank my team enough for all they do. Any question or issue I have they resolve right away. And I love that they breakdown each contract into a spread so you know exactly what your getting for the terms of the contract.

I have been incredibly impressed by the professionalism, ease of communication, ability to have all requirements for onboarding fulfilled in a timely manner, and just overall outstanding service. Lindsay Hernandez is my particular recruiter and she has been a pleasure to work with, as well as all the team members at Stability. I’m looking forward to staying with them for my next assignment. I highly recommend them to my nursing friends, and anyone looking to travel as a nurse!

Labor and Delivery Travel Nurse: What the Job Entails, Job Requirements, and How to Find L&D Travel Nurse Jobs

by Trusted Nurse Staffing | May 24, 2021 | News | 0 comments

Labor and delivery nurses have the privilege of coaching women through one of the most life-changing events they will ever encounter – childbirth. And after a baby is born, labor and delivery travel nurses can also help care for Mom and baby post-childbirth through monitoring, educating, and supporting.

You love working in labor and delivery and have been thinking about becoming a labor and delivery travel nurse. What might it take to make your dream a reality?

Luckily for you, becoming a labor and delivery travel nurse and finding L&D travel nurse jobs may be more attainable than you think.

This guide will tell you everything you need to know about labor and delivery travel nurse jobs and how to land a high-paying position as a labor and delivery travel nurse.

Table of Contents

What does a labor and delivery travel nurse job entail, labor and delivery travel nurse jobs: where are they typically placed, what are the basic requirements for labor and delivery travel nurse jobs, what makes an applicant an optimal candidate for labor and delivery travel nurse jobs, how much do labor and delivery travel nurses make, interested in pursuing l&d travel nurse jobs trusted nurse staffing can help.

Labor and delivery is a highly specialized area of travel nursing .

In contrast to many other registered nursing positions where you provide care for patients across a wide spectrum of medical situations, a labor and delivery travel nurse has a very specific purpose — working with women before, during, and after giving birth. 

Labor and delivery nurses care for only a few patients at a time to ensure they are giving as much attention as possible to their patients during such a monumental moment of their lives. 

Some of their primary responsibilities both during the labor and delivery process and post-childbirth include:

• Monitoring vital signs for both the baby and mother
• Timing contractions 
• Helping to administer any needed medications (including epidurals)
• Identifying and assisting in the handling of any complications that may occur
• Assisting with inducing labor
• Encouraging and comforting women during labor
• Coaching women throughout the process of labor and delivery
• Providing support to breastfeeding mothers
• Caring for women until they are discharged from the hospital

But that’s not all. 

As a labor and delivery travel nurse, you may be asked to take on different roles depending on the needs of the hospital or facility where you are working . 

Labor and Delivery Scrub Nurse

As a labor and delivery travel nurse at some facilities, you may be asked to work alongside surgeons performing cesarean sections as a scrub nurse. Scrub nurses mostly provide surgeons with the necessary instruments but could also get their hands dirty and assist the surgeon with the procedure if needed.

H3: Labor and Delivery Postpartum Nurse

After the delivery of a baby, both the baby and mom are assigned a nurse for their care. The labor and delivery postpartum nurse helps care for new mothers and does things like:

• Monitor vitals
• Help bathe baby
• Dispense medications
• Guide the mother through breastfeeding
• Watch for signs of postpartum depression
• Check incisions
• Watch for complications
• Uterus massages

Labor and Delivery Antepartum Nurse

An antepartum labor and delivery nurse focuses on the physical examination of the mother and baby before birth. 

Labor and delivery antepartum nurses differ from the nurses who work in your OBGYN office and perform your regular check-ups. Instead, antepartum nurses work in the hospital caring for women who may be hospitalized before delivery.

They do things like:

• Record mom’s weight and blood pressure
• Check the baby’s fetal heart rate
• Perform routine urinalysis checks each visit

The goal of an antepartum nurse is to assess, diagnose, manage, and counsel about any potential health issues related to labor and delivery.

Labor and Delivery Nursery Nurse

After childbirth, many hospitals or facilities offer a nursery for the baby to go to while the mother rests and recovers if she chooses. During the baby’s time away from its mother, labor and delivery nursery nurses provide continuous care to the baby. 

They may do things like:

• Change dirty diapers
• Let the baby sleep
• Bring the baby to mom when they get hungry
• Provide comfort and care

Labor and Delivery Circulating Nurse

Differing from a scrub nurse, labor and delivery circulating nurses manage the mother’s care while in the operating room during a C-section.

Labor and delivery travel nurse jobs are in high demand and traveling L&D nurses have the opportunity to work in many diverse settings, including:

• Hospital maternity wards
• Birthing centers
• Outpatient care centers
• Private obstetrics & gynecology practices 
• Private home births

If you’re a labor and delivery nurse looking for L&D travel nurse jobs, take advantage of Pronto. With Pronto , you can search available labor and delivery travel nurse jobs around the country in all different hospitals and facilities and choose the one that sounds most appealing to you. 

Our staff at Trusted Nurse Staffing can help guide you through the process and ensure you have everything you need to be successful on your next assignment.

If you are hoping to become a labor and delivery travel nurse, you will need to follow a specific path, including:

• Becoming a registered nurse
• Passing the NCLEX-RN 
• Gaining experience as a labor and delivery nurse 
• Earning advanced nursing certifications related to labor and delivery nursing

Become a Registered Nurse

The first step in becoming a labor and delivery travel nurse is to earn a nursing degree .

This can be either an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from an accredited university or college.

During your studies, it may be helpful (but not necessarily required) to take electives relating to labor and delivery or to specialize in labor and delivery to begin gaining knowledge about the field.

Pass the NCLEX

Next, you will need to pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to become licensed to practice nursing in your state. 

This challenging test includes a wide variety of questions and adaptive technology based on your textbooks, medical nursing knowledge, and your ability to think strategically and critically.

Unlike many other big exams, the NCLEX is a pass/fail test, so all you need to pass is a score of 0.00.  

Why is that? The NCLEX is designed to simply know if you’re ready to be a nurse or not — a percentage grade won’t tell us that. You either pass or you fail and try again.

Gain Experience 

Once you have the NCLEX-RN under your belt, you will be able to start your nursing career. 

While the requirement to start working a labor and delivery travel nurse job is generally 1-year of experience in a labor and delivery unit, some facilities may require up to 3 years of experience.

Depending on the state you choose, additional requirements may be required for L&D travel nurse jobs in that state.

Working with the recruiters at Trusted Nurse Staffing can help to make the process of acquiring your first labor and delivery travel nurse job seamless. We understand the different state requirements and can help you fulfill them to land your first L&D travel nurse job.

In the field of nursing, education never truly ends.

To best serve your patients, there will always be new things to learn and the need to freshen your skills. 

This is particularly true with labor and delivery nurses. 

Whether they are required by your state or not, the following certifications will enhance your skills, as well as boost your labor and delivery travel nurse resume — and our team at Trusted Nurse Staffing can help you obtain them.

#1: Basic Life Support (BLS)

#3: Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM)

Certified Nurse Midwife ( CNM ) training is a highly advanced certification.

It can take a minimum of 8 years to become a certified nurse-midwife, including:

• 4 years to obtain a BSN 
• 1 year of nursing experience
• 3 years in a nurse-midwifery program 

In addition to delivering babies, certified nurse-midwives have the qualifications to:

• Perform gynecological exams
• Counsel new parents
• Monitor fertility
• Test for sexually transmitted diseases
• Prescribe medications

#4: Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) 

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program aims to promote effective team-based care among the healthcare professionals who are involved with labor and delivery.

The class consists of online case-based simulations, testing, and hands-on workshops.

#5: Electronic Fetal Heart Monitoring (C-EFM)

The C-EFM is offered by the National Certification Corporation (NCC).

Its focus is demonstrating the healthcare professional’s adeptness at applying electronic fetal monitoring and data interpretation. 

Besides loving babies, the best labor and delivery travel nurse will possess some special skills and personality traits including: 

• Approachability and friendliness
• Great communication skills
• Sharp critical thinking abilities
• Emotional stability
• Attention to detail

As with most travel nursing positions, when it comes to labor and delivery travel nurse salary, how much you make will depend on:

• The part of the country and city you choose
• The type of facility you are working in 
• Your nursing experience
• Your certifications

Asked Questions

01. Healthcare traveler requirements vary by facility and state. To guarantee that the process is quick and pain-free, we recommend that: • All professional licenses and certifications are updated and ready to go before you apply. • Any additional licenses that may be required based on your assignment’s location. • You have at least 2 years of on-the-job experience as an L&D Nurse.

To succeed working in L&D you must be very caring and compassionate, a great team player, a great communicator, and be able to guide patients and families through the joyous yet stressful time of childbirth.

Who’s Treated in L&D?

Routine and high-risk patients who are in the process of preparing to give birth, in labor, in surgery, in recovery, in pre-term labor, or experiencing any complications to their pregnancies. There are certainly very challenging moments for patients and families in the labor and delivery unit. But for most patients and families it’s a largely joyous occasion since new life emerges in the L&D unit and it’s the first place they’ll meet their new family members!

What to Expect on Your L&D Travel Nurse Assignment

Table of Contents

First time labor and delivery travel nurse.

Embarking on your first Labor and Delivery travel nursing assignment can be a nerve-wracking experience. That’s just the reality of starting any new job in an unfamiliar environment. To help you have a better idea of what to expect as a L&D nurse, we turned to a veteran HCTN L&D travel nurse: Lauren!

{{cta-light-with-no-image}}

Here’s what Lauren had to say about Labor and Delivery travel nursing:

HCTN: What should every L&D nurse try to learn when heading out on their first travel assignment?

Lauren: The first thing to know is what roles the L&D nurse and nursery nurse fill on that specific unit. For example, are you the nurse for the delivery or the recovery? And does that include the baby, as well?

The second thing you should know is the acuity of the unit and how many deliveries, on average, are done.

Finally, ask questions about the communication between the staff and doctors. Ask if the unit is LDRP or not, C-section circulating/scrubbing, and what type of charting is done.

HCTN: One thing you wish someone would have told you when you were starting out as a Labor and Delivery travel nurse?

Lauren: Get as many details as possible about what your expected role will be as far as being the nursery nurse and postpartum nurse , along with your L&D role.

HCTN: What is your favorite thing about labor and delivery travel nursing?

Lauren: I love getting to see how other facilities run their labor units and learning new ways of assisting families with the delivery of their newborns.

HCTN: Any final tips or advice for fellow L&D travel nurses?

Lauren: Be flexible and assertive. Make sure to ask questions prior to taking the assignment and once you start. Each unit does things differently; go with the flow and take opportunities to learn new things. Ask about scheduling with the managers there and what they expect as far as making your schedule, not calling you off with low census, and shifts you’ll be expected to work.

Special thanks to Lauren from the entire HCTN team for her willingness to share her experience and advice.

Travel Nursing as a Labor and Delivery Nurse

Labor and Delivery (L&D) nurses care for and monitor mothers and babies during labor and birth. L&D is regularly considered one of the most in demand travel nursing specialties. However, there are several issues regarding the L&D travel job market that L&D nurses interested in travel nursing should be aware of in order to properly set expectations and plan accordingly.

Labor and Delivery Travel Nursing Job Outlook

L&D was listed as one of Healthcare Traveler Magazine’s 7 most in demand specialties for 2013 . This is no surprise as L&D is a highly specialized unit. Therefore, experienced nurses can be tough to come by. However, high demand doesn’t necessarily equate to stability.

Discover your next travel healthcare job on BluePipes!

Industry insiders interviewed by Healthcare Traveler were quick to point out the volatility in the L&D travel job market. In short, demand for the specialty tends to experience peaks and valleys. My personal experience as a recruiter indicates the same. There were times when my old company would have hundreds of L&D openings nationwide and others when we would be lucky to have 10. I’ve heard a lot of speculation as to why this volatility exists. Some contend that demand spikes are consistent and cyclical based on some event that happened 9 months prior. For example, some people point to Valentine’s Day or wedding season as the culprits. However, there really doesn’t seem to be any consistency based on my experience.

Interestingly, it’s very possible that the volatility drives demand for L&D travel nurses. Hospitals may realize that they’re going to experience major spikes throughout the year. They then staff for the slower period and utilize travelers for the peaks as a measure to cut down on overall staffing costs.

In any case, L&D nurses should game-plan for this volatility. Flexibility is always the key to solving this problem. There may not be an assignment available in your most desired location when you’re ready for your next assignment, but there will definitely be opportunities available elsewhere. We highly recommend reviewing our article on deciding where to travel as a travel nurse for some helpful ideas on forming a strategy.

Free: Universal Job Application and Credential Management for travelers.

Experience requirements are another issue that potential L&D travelers should be aware of. Many hospitals have very specific requirements. For example, some hospitals require experience with high risk deliveries. Others require 3-5 years of experience which is higher than the standard 1-2 years of experience for other specialties. And many rural facilities will require experience in a similar setting.

Moreover, different hospitals organize their L&D units in different ways. Some hospitals take an all-inclusive approach in which their L&D nurse might be responsible for Postpartum and Mother/Baby care. Others separate these care regimes from the L&D unit and assign different nurses to the various stages of the childbirth process. As a result, hospitals tend to seek candidates with experience in units organized similar to their own. Of course, the stringency that hospitals exhibit with regard to their experience requirements will ebb and flow with job market.

Labor and Delivery Travel Nursing Job License and Certification Requirements

License and certification requirements for L&D travelers tend to vary quite a bit. However, as with all specialties, it’s standard for hospitals to require that candidates be licensed in the hospital’s state prior to being submitted for an assignment. There are some exceptions, most often in states that have a walk-through licensing process, but these opportunities are rare.

In addition to the appropriate state RN license, L&D assignments almost always require NRP certification. BLS certification is another standard requirement. Others will require a PALS certification. And, believe it or not, it is becoming more and more common for L&D assignments to require ACLS certification. As always, your best bet is to attain all of these through the American Heart Association.

Finally, more and more hospitals are requiring an AWHONN Advanced Fetal Heart Monitoring (AFHM) certification for their L&D nurses. This certification is pretty much a standard requirement in California and it is growing in popularity nationwide. The most important consideration regarding AFHM certification is that it can be difficult to obtain. AWHONN is certainly offering more certification classes these days, but it can still be difficult to find classes in certain locations. Moreover, there are a limited number of dates, and classes tend to fill quickly. Planning in advance for this certification is in your best interest.

It’s a good idea to obtain all the certifications listed here prior to starting your travel career. Landing the best assignments, and your most desired jobs, has a lot to do with being ready when the opportunity strikes. Having all of the certifications helps ensure that you are maximizing your potential with respect to the pool of available assignments at any given time.

Labor and Delivery Travel Nursing Pay

Labor and Delivery almost always falls under the “Specialty Bill Rate” category. This means it is in the category of specialties for which companies bill the hospital the higher rate specified in their contract. Moreover, there are some hospital/agency contracts that specify a specific rate just for L&D. This rate is typically a bit higher than the rest. However, none of this means that L&D travelers make tons more money than everyone else. The differences tend to be between $1 to $3 higher per hour.

As with bill rates for all specialties, there is a broad range from the lowest to the highest bill rates for L&D. Bill rates for L&D can range from roughly $54 per hour on the low end to roughly $75 per hour on the high end. It’s important to remember that lower bill rates are predominant in regions with a lower cost of living while higher bill rates are predominant in areas with a higher cost of living. However, there can be large variations within a specific region as well.

While the job market volatility for L&D travel nurses can present some problems, it’s also one of the reasons that the specialty tends to see the most crisis rates . When demand spikes, the surplus of available jobs relative to the number of L&D travel nurses in the market tends to force hospitals to initiate their crisis rates. These rates can be anywhere from $5 per hour to $20 per our higher than the normal rates. These rates tend to motivate recruiters to aggressively recruit for the openings. The rates also tend to persuade L&D nurses who might not otherwise be interested in the assignment to consider it.

As with all specialties, bill rates for L&D travel nurses tend to fluctuate with the labor market. When the labor market is tight (more jobs than people) rates can get forced up, and when it is slack (more people than jobs) it can get forced down. Overall though, bill rates for L&D travel nurses tend to be higher relative to most other specialties.

L&D Travel Nursing Job Considerations

Unit organization is perhaps the most important consideration that L&D travel nurses should account for when evaluating a potential assignment. As mentioned previously, different hospitals organize their L&D units in different ways. This means that some hospitals have their nurses focused on specific aspects of the process while others have their nurses involved with all aspects of the process.

You can attempt to find out about how the unit is organized prior to being submitted for an assignment. However, you should always inquire about it during the travel nursing job interview regardless of whether or not your recruiter has provided you with the information. This is because recruiters often rely on boiler plate unit descriptions provided by the hospital which offer very little detail. Moreover, recruiters and agencies are rarely able to contact the hospital unit directly to inquire about specifics. Therefore, recruiters are often uninformed about specific unit organization issues.

L&D travel nurses should also consider the type of hospital when evaluating an assignment. Specifically, is the hospital urban or rural? Rural hospitals tend to have lulls in births. However, they are still going to want the travel nurse to contribute during periods when there is no L&D work. Some rural hospitals will require floating to the Medical Surgical unit. Again, this is an issue you’ll want to address during your travel nursing interview.

L&D is an in demand specialty for. However, you’ll want to be sure that you have the appropriate licenses and certifications as well as flexibility in order to weather the down times in the overall L&D travel job market. In addition, always be sure to evaluate hospitals during the interview to ensure that their unit is a good fit for you.

Joe: Retaliation,” and “Red Dawn.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might be riding high on a surge of popularity. Be prepared as others may have skepticism and want to ask questions to understand your rise to the top. You may be expected to handle your fair share of responsibility in a professional manner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Having a supportive, close-knit group may help to strengthen the plans that have been bubbling quietly in the background. Allowing your creative juices to stir may lead to you taking action on imaginative dreams and turning them into your reality.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be tempted to take shortcuts in an effort to solve frustrating situations but they may only result in a short-term fix. Allow those you admire to become your inspiration and you may be able to address challenges from an elevated state of mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Creative excitement may strike as someone close could be a shining example that you wish to follow. Take the time to engage in heartful discussions and share your innermost thoughts. The words you hear now may ring with truth, sincerity, and wisdom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Agreement may be the only way to please certain people. Keep a little extra money at your disposal for the occasional treat or to contribute to a collective gesture of kindness. Have something on hand for the donation box when the opportunity arises.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might find some truth within your interpretation, even if what you may think someone means is far from their true intention. Someone who seems to place high importance on performance could become more understanding towards human errors.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Learn to recognize that most people yearn for companionship; this may help you to make promising and lasting connections. You may benefit from believing that balance is available to you even while you’re completing tasks or being sociable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Setting lofty intentions and big goals may bring you meaningful results. Use caution if going after every extra dollar, as it could take up valuable time and take your focus away from those who love and support you the most.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Overwhelm may set in after the fires are lit and passions are boiling. You could be fixated on something or someone and willing to go to extremes to satisfy your needs. Take a step back to reevaluate and cool off before making decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Growing personal responsibilities may make it challenging to take on upcoming opportunities. Spend money from an intentional place for the next few days. Stay positive because you may learn how to achieve peace of mind this week.

IF MAY 6 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You could be in a transitional stage during the next two to three weeks and might want to reevaluate what is most important to your happiness. By demonstrating your strength of character, you may take on a leadership role. In June, your big dreams and visionary ideas might come true while your ability to come up with practical solutions is enhanced. This might be a great time for a vacation or to develop a successful plan of action. Your social calendar could fill up in July and August as you may be more popular and sought after by friends and could have more free time to socialize. Your ambitions could be tweaked in September, a time when following the rules and proving you are responsible could be more important than usual.
