I have to say, I agree with Flossie on this, we argue that IBCLC is a 
stand alone credential. The employer certainly do not treat it as one, 
and typically we do not either. The IBCLC seems to have become a nice 
"extra" in the job market. I am not sure what we can do, since it is 
impractical to boycott employment...

Just as an aside, I am considering getting an add-on to my IBCLC- an 
RN!  I will make sure that they are listed in the order I received 
them!

For those of you who do not know me, I have been with Lactnet for 10 
years, in the last 5 I have mostly lurked. I am an LLLL, and IBCLC 
(sort of, but that is a long story) mother of six, homeschool parent 
and perpetual student. I only have time to write tonight as ALL of my 
children are away. :(

Back to lurking!
