Congratulations to all the new and renewing IBCLCs.  I have never regretted 
taking the steps to become IBCLC.  Yes I agree Dawn - the second time of 
taking the exam is easier - I think because I wasn't as nervous as the first 
time.  We put a lot of effort, time and money into learning and it scares us to 
think we might not pass.  
I still deal with frustrations because in my community the CLCs at the hospital 
tell clients they are certified lactation consultants and clients do not 
understand the difference between CLC and IBCLC - they sound too similar.
Welcome to our fold and have fun - I know I do!!!

Congrats to all of you who passed THE exam. You are all solid gold! And I
want to encourage you that it goes easier the second time (right Ilene?).
Love and positive energy from Vermont

in 1992 and still learning!)
