Can you be a pp or mother baby nurse without doing l&d?

I am a student and am interested in doing pp/ mother baby, but am not at all interested in working l&d. The hospital where I did my clinical had a seperate floor for postpartum moms and most of those nurses worked only on that floor, while others were cross trained into l&d and nicu. Just wondering if this is the norm or if it depends on the hospital?? I am located in CT if that helps... thanks in advance for the replies :)

Thanks everyone for the responses! From what you guys are saying, it seems like I will be able to do PP exclusively. That is my hope for now at least. As a student transitioning into an RN i can never see myself as an L&D nurse, I would be terrified!! lol. but maybe in future, who knows.
