Is it hard to transfer from mother/infant (postpartum) RN position to pool nursing?

Hi All, I'm currently in my first job search as an RN and have a strong lead for a mother/infant (postpartum) position, which I'm thrilled about! However, in the next few years I want to do some work as a pool nurse (I love the flexible and dynamic nature of the job). Will it be hard for me to do that? I was thinking I could always complete some CEUs in telemetry or whatever else I may need before making that change...am I right?

Basically, I want to hear from anyone who has insight into this, especially nurses who have gone from L&D nursing or mother/Infant nursing to pool nursing or another specialty. I want to know if my taking this position would limit me to only L&D or postpartum units in the future. I'm at the beginning of my career! Thanks in advance!
I assume pool nursing is what we call float nursing where I work. Any hospital I have worked in desperately wants and encourages nurses to work in the float pool. (I guess that is where you come up with pool nursing.) I think even with just "limited" mother/infant postpartum experience a hospital float pool would welcome you. A decent well run float pool would have you orient to the different units. The telemetry training would certainly help.

OB is fairly specialized and, unfortunately, you won't be exposed to many of the things you would be exposed to if you worked on a med/surg unit. However, I agree with brownbook and think that by furthering your knowledge beyond OB you would be a good candidate for the float pool. I would imagine that there would be some orientation to the units you would work on. But be prepared, med/surg is a whole different world compared to working in OB.

In my area I see a lot of hospital do "pediatrics, Maternal/child health, L&D" float pool that is separate from the "critical care float pool" and the "med-surg float pool", so that may be an idea. HPRN

If you want to do float pool then perhaps you should start out in medsurg. Postpartum is highly specialized.
