Pre-Admission Appointments

A pre-admission nurse educator, a nurse experienced in obstetrics, offers expertise in assessing your needs and the needs of your family as the time for your baby's birth approaches. Your doctor's office will provide information to schedule an appointment with the pre-admission nurse educator or you may call directly. The nurse educator will provide important and useful information about self-care, infant care, and hospital procedures and answer any questions you may have regarding your medical condition. In addition, the nurse educator will:

• Provide you with information  about other St. Elizabeth Medical Center services

•  Prepare your inpatient medical record 

• Prepare your registration papers and consent forms 

• Assist with scheduling of  your childbirth classes

This advance preparation allows you to have a worry-free experience when labor begins.

Please call (859) 815-1385 to schedule your appointment after your 16th week of pregnancy.
