Hello Betty,
Welcome aboard. At our hospital we wear scrubs. I work in the NICU and on
the post-partum floor. Sometimes we are called to other areas, ER, surgical
floor, mom pumping, etc. We find that it is the most reasonable uniform for
us. I am sometimes kneeling on the floor at a chair in the NICU. I carry a
garden pad for my knees, and find this position saves my back. It also
gives me a good view of the baby at the breast.
We do not use a separate release form. The patient signs a release form
when admitted to accept care from hospital personnel.
For charting we actually use our hospitals computer set up. We have a form
for "Breastfeeding Consult" which has a check list for teaching and
education. There is also a space for a narrative note. This was set up
when the charting system was set up.

Hello there..I've been reading for sometime but I finally register to post!
I have the following question , do you need a release form to assist moms
with b/f at hospitals? or by registering at the hospital it is automatically
assumed they can receive b/f assistance w/out having to sign a release form?
also what is the standard uniform for LCs at hospitals? is the majority
still using the lab coat?
and on regards to charting..what easy software program is out there, that I
might recommend the hospital to purchase. Thanks!
Betty,IBCLC
