RN - Labor and Delivery - Per Diem

About the Team

The Maternity Suite at Cambridge Hospital is a beautiful unit with lovely views of downtown Boston and Harvard Square. It includes a Labor and Delivery (L&D) Unit and a Postpartum Unit, helping more than 1,100 growing families every year. The 7-bed labor unit features 3 triage bays and 2 ORs, while the Postpartum Unit consists of 12 private rooms with a Level 1b continuing care nursery.

We are proud of our multidisciplinary patient care, our culturally sensitive approach to labor and delivery, and some of the lowest C-section rates in Massachusetts. The unit fosters a culturally sensitive approach to couplet care and early family bonding, providing care for mothers and infants from birth through the early stages of postpartum to discharge.

Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) brings Care to the People, serving our vibrant, diverse communities. As passionate advocates for the underserved, we actively partner with our communities to take on challenging public health issues and conduct important research to help reduce barriers to care. Our strategic plan charts a proactive course for the future, built on a vision of equity and excellence for everyone, every time. We recognize that our workforce is our most valuable asset and prioritize competitive salaries, benefits, and professional development opportunities.
