The hospital where I work as an IBCLC recently hired a male RN in the labor and delivery area. All new nurses must work with me for a day or two to learn how to assist mothers to breastfeed. This is my first experience working with a male nurse. Does a female nurse have to/should be present when he examines the patient either during labor or when assisting with breastfeeding? *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
