Inpatient Nursing Supervisor - Birth Center

Regions Hospital has a great opportunity to join our nursing leadership team as an Inpatient Nurse Supervisor and Charge Nurse for our Birth Center and work with an incredible team of people who have a passion for caring for others! The Supervisor and charge RN duties will facilitate the successful functioning of the Birth Center through communication, working knowledge of departmental and hospital policy, and rapport with nursing staff, medical staff, and ancillary departments.  Additionally, the Supervisor oversees day-to-day operation of the Unit and provides direct patient care as well as supervision of clinical inpatient staff within the birth center units: NICU, Postpartum, Labor & Delivery, including OR C/B.

Our state of the art Birth Center was built in 2020. Featuring 160,000 square feet – 13 Labor and Delivery rooms, 2 operating rooms, 24 Postpartum rooms, and 7 NICU rooms. Our Level 2 NICU features 7 private rooms including 1 twin room for a total of 8 beds, each with an adjoining family space and bathroom to keep families connected.

Regions Hospital is one of the few hospitals in the country to feature the Enhanced Couplet Care model.  5 of our Postpartum rooms are outfitted with a full NICU headwall, allowing a subset of our NICU babies to stay in the Postpartum room with their families and avoid separation.  This evidence-based model of care provides many benefits including improved weight gain, more effective feedings, and fewer hospital readmissions.

The Birth Center at Regions has approximately 2800 births annually with 15-20% of babies requiring some amount of NICU-level care.  We are dedicated to diversity and inclusion, with 60% of our patient population being people of color, and 25% requiring interpreters for their care.
Our center provides care to low risk & high risk culturally diverse obstetrical patients. We have received the highest ranking from the Institute for HealthCare Improvement (IHI) for patient safety. We are proud to support the largest midwife practice in the Twin Cities and note that over half of our deliveries are done by midwives. We work as an interdisciplinary team with physicians, midwives, residents, and students. Services we provide include water births for low-risk patients, and we strive to accommodate individual patient birth plans. Our unit provides care to high-risk obstetrical patients and we have a full service medical team in house 24 hours per day to support any emergent situation. L&D nurses provide primary care to patients in antepartum, in active labor and in the maternal outpatient assessment area.
