For those of you in a hurry, I'll start with my question.  I'm interested know
what non-RN (or ADA) pathways you have found to use your IBCLC.

Now for some background.  I've been working with breastfeeding mothers for the
past 25 years.  First as a LLLL, then as a Home Health Aide.  The past 4 years
as a Diet Tech (as nutritionist in a Healthstart OB clinic).  I've been IBCLC
for 4 years.  I'm acknowledged, but not paid, as the clinic's Lactation
Consultant.  I'm becoming quite frustrated.  I know I'm not RN material.  Like
I tell my patients, "I don't do blood or urine"  I couldn't take the algebra
or chemistry in RN or ADA courses.  I've just begun a Human Services BA
specializing in Health & Nutrition.  The Intro to Biology is enough science
for my little brain.  I don't know if this with will get me anywhere, but I
need to do SOMETHING.  My goal has always been to work as a Lactation
Consultant.  I'm totally frustrated at this point.  What have some of you
done?  Any suggestions welcome.  E-Mail me privately.  Currently nomail.
