we have several different nursing programs in our area who have clinicals 
at our hospital (BFH). the nursing students have at least 2 full days with 
the LC as part of their OB rotation (in addition to antepartum, L&D, and 
postpartum). this includes a shift with the rounds LC who sees the 
inpatients and teaches the daily BF and baby care class for parents to 
attend before d/c, and a day at the postpartum care center, following the 
LC for about 5 or 6 appts usually when baby is 3-4 days old, and sometimes 
even a day with the breastfeeding center appts. if they have down time in 
the clinic (cancelled appts, etc) we encourage them to sit in the phone 
room with that LC listening and learning. one day the student assigned to 
follow me (doing rounds) was absent from clinical due to illness, so her 
instructor shadowed me all day and told me she learned so much. it was 
wonderful!
