Dear readers of lactnet--I need your collective wisdom. I will be retiring as of Sept 30 this year. I have been the consultant here at Mayo Medical Center for 10 years. I will not be able to be a part of the intervies process for a new lactation consultant. However, I have been asked to come up with about 4 questions that would focus on the key componets of the job to help the intervie w panel in determining the individuals's philosophy related to breastfeeding, staff development and the role of an LC in a hospital setting. I would be most grateful for any ideas you may have or questions used in this process at other institutions. The job should be posted shortly. The patients I see are so varied that the job covers any one with questions or problems related to breastfeeding in hosp- ital as well as outpatient. A great opportunity for someone! I hope to spend time with my 4 kids and 11 grandkids. I will get a home computer and hope to keep up with lactnet and who knows-some private consulting.?? Thanks ahead for your help.
