First of all, is that what the name is? The nurse who works with women and newborn babies during birth and right after while they are staying in the hospital? (I live in canada by the way if that makes a difference)
Second, Im 15 years old, and this is the kind of job im looking into for my future, i was just wondering, from women who have had expierence with these nurses.... what exactly do they do during delivery and after delivery?
Thanks in advance!
Answer
In the U.S., yes, they are RN's, who specialize in L&D. They may also work gynecology, post-partum, or nursery. Usually they specialize in just one area.
They will work with the mother all through the labor process and birthing process. They will also assist during inductions or c-sections or anything like that - whatever it takes to get the baby delivered. Mostly, their work is monitoring the situation and taking any required action. If a mom is under heavy epidural, the nurse won't have to do as much until it is time to deliver. If a mom is going natural, the nurse would help coach her through it and would be more involved.
Soon after, the mother will transfer to post-partum, where another nurse will attend her during her recover stages. In the U.S., that's usually a day or two. And a nursery nurse will attend the baby.
My hospital accepts junior volunteers during the summer; perhaps there is somewhere near you that would do the same so you could get a feel for it?

Can a non-resident Canadian deliver a baby free of charge in Canada?
R M
As I am a Canadian citizen working and living abroad (out of canada) married to a non-canadian wife, and we are expecting a baby soon. My question is, if we choose for my new baby to be given birth and delivery take place at a hospital in Canada, do we have to pay for the hospital and any further medical care associated with the delivery and the baby health. The reason of my question is based on the fact that non-resident Canadians are not eligible for the healthcare system in Canada and do not hold a health card issued by the province.
Answer
Do you mean "have a baby at a hospital" or do you actually mean "deliver someone else's baby"?
In the former... No. If you go to a hospital pregnant, they will ask for your provincial health care card. If you have a study or work permit then you would have been eligible to apply for one. If you don't have one of these, they'll ask for proof of private (presumably travel) insurance. If they don't have this, then they are asked for a credit card number or bank card to make payments. Most visitors entering Canada visibly pregnant would be asked for a doctor's letter confirming the due date and proof of travel insurance. A typical hospital delivery runs around $3000 assuming no complications and only a short stay for the mother in the hospital.
If they can't pay, they would be billed and typically Citizenship or Immigration Canada would be contacted regarding why they are in the country pregnant without insurance. Those entering Canada from countries requiring a tourist visa as well as student or work permits would have submitted to medical tests and typically been denied the visa/permit or had the visa date limited to avoid the due date and required to have medical insurance.
If you are asking about actually delivering someone else's baby... again No. Health care in Canada is managed by the individual provinces and, while each has different rules on practicing medicine, all provinces require midwives to be certified and licensed within the province. All require midwives to have either a medical degree or to complete a four year Bachelors program at university, undergo clinical exams, perform specific practicums, be monitored by the province, and carry certain insurance. Most also have fairly strict procedures in terms of certain tests which need to be performed prior to a home birth.
If you are talking about a woman going into labour in an emergency situation... sure anyone can help her delivery a baby.
