Registered Nurse (RN) – Birthing Pavilion
Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center - Lebanon, NH
If you’re passionate about maternity care and want to make a measurable difference for growing families—especially when things get high-acuity, then this role is for you. Our
Birthing Pavilion
is a
21-room, 24-bed Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum (LDRP) unit
with about
1,300 deliveries each year . And because
55% of our patients are high-risk
through our
Maternal Fetal Medicine
service, you’ll practice at the top of your license in a setting where skill, teamwork, and calm leadership matter every day.
About the Patients and Unit We care for patients across the full spectrum from
antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, normal newborn care, and focused care newborn care
all in one cohesive LDRP model. We also serve as a regional resource, receiving
transports from all of New Hampshire, Southern Vermont, and occasionally Maine .
You’ll be supported by a strong, multidisciplinary environment including a
robust midwifery service , a
generalist physician service , and a unit designed for efficient, safe flow complete with a
two-bed triage room
where we triage all patients.
And when a delivery turns into “all hands on deck,” you’re not on an island: we collaborate closely with the
Emergency Department, ICU, CVCCU, and the Main OR
to deliver highly specialized care for pregnant and postpartum patients.
What makes this unit different? Our pavilion includes
two dedicated operating rooms , and
every RN is trained in perioperative care
including
circulating, scribing, and PACU services . Plus, the
ICN/NICU is right next door , and we work in tight partnership with their team for seamless escalation and newborn support.
Your Role as a Birthing Pavilion RN
Provide hands‑on nursing care across the full LDRP continuum (antepartum through postpartum).
Support high‑risk obstetric patients in partnership with Maternal Fetal Medicine.
Triage patients in our dedicated triage space and respond quickly to clinical changes.
Deliver safe, evidence‑based care during labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum.
Train and function in OB perioperative workflows (circulator/scribe) and PACU care.
Collaborate closely with midwives, physicians, NICU, ED/ICU/CVCCU, and OR teams to coordinate care and transitions.
Those Who Thrive Here
Love a fast‑moving environment where both heart and precision are required.
Stay calm, clear, and confident when the stakes rise (because babies don’t do 'business hours').
Enjoy team‑based care and strong interdisciplinary collaboration.
Want broad, high‑skill experience LDRP + high‑risk + OR/PACU exposure.
Bring empathy, steady communication, and an “I’ve got you” presence for patients and families.
