i fail to see how a discussion of salary would be price fixing. first, one
would have to assume that "all" who read the data then went to their local
hospitals and demanded that they be paid the same as others in their field.
that oughta be good for a few laughs in certain places. what you ask for and
what you get are entirely different matters, and i have seen no posts from
hospital-based LCs indicating that they hold the upper hand in salary
negotiation

. in addition, most jobs in hospitals are posted somewhere, here most
hospitals even have web sites with that information, and gosh! they even post
the salary ranges! i bet they don't worry about that being price fixing. and
i means that thousands of people all over the world could actually read the
salaries listed, too.

now as for the "i am an RN AND an IBCLC and i do both in the hospital" - then
you should be paid as an rn for the time you spend doing that and as an ibclc
for the time you spend doing that work. they are not the same. and as for the
eternal "nurse LC" question (which most people know makes me extremely
annoyed) - when's the last time someone asked a doctor "are you a nurse?"
