Pre-Admission
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:

• Provide you with information  about other St. Elizabeth Healthcare services
• Prepare your inpatient medical record
• Prepare your registration papers and consent forms
• Assist with scheduling your childbirth classes

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

Please call (859) 655-7400 to schedule your appointment after your 16th week of pregnancy. You can now preregister at St. Elizabeth Florence and St. Elizabeth Ft. Thomas as well as St. Elizabeth Edgewood.
