Transition from L&D to NICU?

Published

Specializes in Med Surg.

Hi, I'm a med surgical nurse trying to transition to postpartum and then NICU.  I have an opportunity to join an OB cohort but the job is only in L&D. I am not opposed to L&D but I do like caring for the infant more and appreciate that side of care more. Would joining the L&D cohort and working that for a year or two make me better equipped to work in NICU? Or should I wait for a postpartum position to open?

Thank your for the advice

The two roles are not even remotely related. If you must do a transition job, PP is much more relevant.
