September may be the most common month for births, but our labor and delivery nurses hustle year-round as we welcome more babies at Providence Swedish than at any other hospital system in Western Washington. Ready to sign on to our mom and baby squad? Here are three great reasons to apply to one of our L&D RN openings today.

1. You’ll work at an organization that’s trusted in the community and nationally recognized for maternity care.

Our hospitals are known for top-quality labor and delivery care, with U.S. News & World Report naming Swedish First Hill, Swedish Issaquah, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, Providence St. Peter Hospital and Providence Centralia Hospital as 2025 High Performing Hospitals for Maternity Care, the highest designation possible in the publication’s annual Best Hospitals for Maternity Care rankings.

We give our patients peace of mind through the entire process, supporting families through typical and difficult pregnancies, as well as caring for newborns who need extra medical attention.

2. You’ll find support and belonging as part of our team.

At Providence Swedish, we’re committed to being the best place to work, and that starts with cultivating a caregiver experience that attracts and retains a diverse workforce where everyone finds inclusion and belonging and reflects the communities we serve. We foster a vibrant, supportive work environment, with diversity councils and caregiver resource groups where everyone can connect with fellow caregivers with shared experiences.

We provide individualized orientation, continuing education and ongoing opportunities for professional advancement, and reward our caregivers with generous compensation and benefits that start on day one. Management listens to feedback, concerns and ambitions, and works with caregivers to help them grow in their careers. And as caregivers tasked with welcoming new babies, Labor & Delivery RNs get a unique and special patient care experience.

3. You’ll have ownership of your practice and every interaction.

At Providence Swedish, we passionately encourage nurses to own not only patient interactions, but also their nursing practice overall. We help by championing every nurse’s personalized approach to care, encouraging true connections, and fostering a culture where RNs are empowered to confidently voice concerns or ideas for improvement, which fuels not only excellent patient outcomes but also breeds a positive work environment.

Pat Patton, Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), says, “It’s the nurses, the people who are the closest to the work, that are figuring it out. I want all nurses to be able to say, ‘I have ownership of my practice and what I do every day. I can bring issues forward that can be fixed. I don’t have to be frustrated when I come to work because I have a voice and feel that I can speak up and find solutions.’”

Across the Puget Sound, CNOs like Pat work hard to ensure nurses have the tools, resources and encouragement they need to deliver the best care. Because as Pat says, “Positive, nurse-driven changes mean better patient care experiences and a happier place to work.”
