Transition from ER nurse to women's health (labor & delivery/postpartum).

Published

I'm curious if it's hard to transition from a specialty like the ER to another specialty in women's health? I am currently a fresh new grad who has

My question is:

1. Is it hard to transition from ER to women's health?

2. What are the minimum requirements?

3. Is it possible to get into a NP school in Women's health/midwifery without L&D experience? I mean, I experience women health related issues in the ER but not L&D per se...does that even count?

Any comments or advice are greatly appreciated [:

Specializes in ED.

I havn't worked PP or in Woman's Health, but I would think that a good solid base as an ER nurse would be helpful in that field. Good luck to you
