Hi There!  I recently got introduced to LACTNET by a co-worker.  So far I
have found the information quite valuable, and am looking forward to
increasing my knowledge base.  I am a Navy Nurse in Oak Harbor, WA. I have a
background in Maternal-Child Nursing (which I am studying for certification),
Neonatal ICU, and Medical Pediatrics.  I have been currently assigned to be
the charge nurse of the Medical-Surgical ward.  I also help teach a
breastfeeding class to expectant parents, along with two LLL leaders (we
didn't have this before, and I think has helped tremendously!!!  Changed a
lot of parents' minds for the better).  I would eventually like to become
board certified as a lactation consultant, as I plan to stay in the
maternal-child arena.  I look forward to communicating with all of you
through LACTNET :)
