I was at a conference today and one  of the speakers was talking about the 
wise use of LCs.  :-)  I don't think cleaning pumps is one of them.  Years 
ago when I was hospital LC I was told the unit secretary could no longer run 
things off in the copy center for me.  I told my nursing supervisor if they 
wanted to pay me $25/hr to copy that was fine with me, but I thought it made 
more sense for the unit secretary to do the copying  at $10/hr.  She quickly 
changed her mind, LOL.

More about today's talk.  The main gist, which I definitely agree with, is 
that EVERY nurse working in maternity unit needs to be able to help most 
mothers with basic breastfeeding.  A mom should not have to wait for the LC 
to come in.  She said basic BF help is a skill set, just like skill sets 
learned in other areas of the hospital, like cardiac , neuro, surgery etc. 
Good presentation by one of my favorite speakers, Diane Spatz.
