The labor nurses take care of the babies right after birth. There isn't a specific one, only levels of experience. The ones with the highest experience tend to work in the NICU with preterm babies. You must be thinking of Obstetric Nurses, who cover everything from the woman in labor to the baby in the nursery. They get to wash the baby and give it eye ointment and shots after it is born.
The nurses are called "neonatal nurses". There are many sites you can check out depending on what it is you are looking for. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1...
You have neonatal nurses and postnatal nurses. Can be RNs or LPNs. RN is a 4 year degree and LPN is a 2 year associates degree.
