Maternity Nursing course – Open Certified Nurse (OCN) Level 3 & 4

What is a role of a maternity nurse? 

A Maternity nurse provides support to parents with their new-born babies, from birth to up to six weeks old. Their role is to offer guidance and support in handling new-borns including giving advice about the baby’s nursing, sleep routine, bottle sterlisation, bathing, laundry and general advice about how to care for their new-born and also how to intergrate a baby into family life and with other siblings. Maternity nurses can sleep in the baby’s room or separately depending on parents’ wishes. 

They are increasingly popular with parents looking for support during their first few weeks with the new-born.
