Mount Sinai Hospital has a companion unit where women and their newborns spend the first few days recovering from the birth and learning how to care for themselves and their newborn infants. With 31 postpartum rooms, we are able to provide a quiet environment for our mother baby couplets and their significant other for a 24 hour rooming-in experience. Our nurses are highly skilled in the medical and nursing care that is required for our patients as well as being able to provide highly interactive education for our families. Our lactation consultants are available to provide high-level breastfeeding support as they help lead the way in our Baby-Friendly Hospital designation journey.
We also provide high-risk medical management and nursing support for pregnant women in our unit and the competent care needed for our antepartum patients who may have problem pregnancies of any gestational age. Along with our social workers and chaplain, we are able to provide a variety of services that support the complex needs of our families.
Our newborn nursery is only a way-station for most of our newborns who pass through quickly after birth. But for babies who need continuing medical care, our nurses are skilled in caring for these babies and providing support for their families. A team of obstetricians, pediatricians and neonatologists are available 24/7 to work closely with our caregivers and our families. We have such a close bond with our families and we often enjoy visits from them as their children grow and as their mothers return in later years to have more babies with us. We are proud of our two Daisy nurse award recipients we have had in the past year.
If you enjoy the dynamics of education and teaching for our mothers, their families and the care of our newborns in an urban setting with many physical and social challenges, you will enjoy working in this close-knit, family-centered unit of caregivers.
We provide annual training and review of NRP and electronic fetal monitoring to enhance the skills of our postpartum caregivers. Our own nurse educator provides support and educational training to our caregivers throughout the year. If you love working with families and having the support of a great team of caregivers in a warm, caring environment, our Mother Baby Unit may be the place for you! We strongly prefer bilingual (Spanish-speaking) caregivers who have a baccalaureate degree in Nursing
