Greetings,

I am working as a IBCLC at a small hospital in Maryland.  I simply offered
my services to the Community
Education Department to teach breastfeeding classes, that got my foot in the
door.  About 3 years later it has grown into a Breastfeeding Resource Center
and I provide outpatient services, support group, pumps, and telephone
support, classes, staff and community ed.  Baby steps.  Establish yourself
and the need for services, do a great job,  and the "not a nurse" thing goes
away as the respect for all you know and how professionally you conduct
yourself takes over.

Good Luck,

Lori Werrell, BA, IBCLC
Leonardtown MD
