A question about using the CLC credential in charting.  Three hospital  and 
one home care nurse in our area recently took the Certified Lactation  
Counselor training.  Are those of you who are RNs and CLC's based in  hospital or home 
care allowed by your respective institutions to use these  initials after 
your RN?  When I first became an IBCLC in 1986, I was not  allowed to use the 
IBCLC initials, because they were not an accepted  nursing certification.  As the 
IBCLC credential is approved by the  NCCA, I am allowed to use it now. Thanks 
for any information you can give me on  this topic.
