I am a PNP/IBCLC and have what is probably the world's best job. I work
for Kaiser (HMO) so billing is not an issue. I was hired in the pediatric
department specifically to see all our newborns 2-3 days post hospital
d/c. I have 20 min. appt. slots and find I am able to do the exam, weight,
counseling and BF help for most couplets in that amount of time. I f there
is a  more extensive problem I do tend to take the time I need and then
run behind. If I need more time I can schedule whatever I need at a later
date. Because the babies are seen so early some of the big problems don't
have time to develop. I see all of these babies at their 2 wk. check also
and then they are transferred to their pediatrician. I do BF consults,
rent BP's, warm-line BF/NB info, teach prenatal BF classes, and also have
a regular panel of older patients that I bonded with during the early
visits! I usually see 70+ newborns a month and work about 30+ hours a
week. I have an extremely supportive staff of pediatricians. As Pat Gima
pointed out NP's can write prescriptions so I can treat thrush, mastitis,
etc. Probably the best of all worlds!
