Your Personal Nurse Educator

 A pre-admission nurse educator, a nurse experienced in obstetrics, offers expertise in assessing your needs and the needs of your family as 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:

• Prepare your inpatient chart and review your health history
• Discuss other services available at St. Elizabeth Healthcare
• Be available to answer any questions
• Register you for childbirth classes
• Please try to have your pediatrician selected before your appointment.

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

ALL PRE-ADMISSION APPOINTMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED OVER THE PHONE
