Why Labour and Delivery Nurses?
As birth rates rise and fluctuate, L&D nurses are more in demand than ever. Globally, the World Bank estimates there will still be over 130 million births annually by 2030. As our population ages, increasing amounts of older women use fertility treatments, leading to rising numbers of births. Also, the heightened amounts of immigrants entering the UK contribute to higher birth rates.
The job is a stable one. Interestingly, there is a nationwide shortage of nurses, particularly at public hospitals like those of the NHS, intensifying the demand for L&D RNs’ specialised knowledge and skills in managing childbirth, potential complications, and newborn care. There’s a higher-than-average growth rate for the profession because of the specialised skills demanded in the role. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects a 6% growth in Registered Nurse (RN) positions from 2022 to 2032, which is faster than the average for all occupations.
Working as an L&D nurse leads to intimate moments with mothers throughout your career. You’ll deliver their children, supporting them whether it’s their first baby or fifth. Yes, sometimes it can be stressful, especially when mom codes or baby breaches– but you get to witness and participate in the beautiful miracle of birth.
