I started off as a NON-RN IBCLC, and have only acquired my RN recently.
Many who are familiar with RN programs around the country know that lactation
turns out to be a paragraph, or if we are really lucky, a few pages in the
nursing OB text. I was appalled at what was considered Lactation education in my
own RN program. I am not writing this to debate an already well-debated
topic between RN and NON-RN IBCLC. My purpose is to point out that all IBCLCs
get the majority of their lactation education from IBCLC educational programs,
and more needs to be done in Nursing schools.
Rather than moan about it, I decided to DO something, so I will be going
back to my alma mater to teach their lactation section, and I am suggesting
that this is one way to promote lactation to 60-100 impressionable fledgling
nurses at one time. I hope to give current talk about latch and follow it up
with a discussion about IBCLE certification and ILCA membership. I think
this is something that many of us could do, and in most cases--SHOULD DO. it
would just take 2 hours of our time per college semester. This is a focus
that I feel our profession desperately needs to pursue.
