Wow, thats great.  I have a RN lisence, got my IBCLC, provide the unit most 
all the information regarding research, scientific rationale, educate pts and 
staff and do not receive anything above my basic RN wage.  I know a nurse 
who wanted to do just LC and the wage would be less than if she was hired 
under a RN and did some floor work along with the LC position.  She took the 
RN position, but her passion is breastfeeding.  She works on a post partum 
floor.  Some days as a floor nurse and some days as a LC when I'm off.  I wish 
we knew more about salaries.  It is such a sensitive subject.  I'm not 
complaining I earn a good wage, but I have more responsibilities to both.  I 
must be certified in NRP and keep up with all RN classes in addition to my 
hours i put into learning and keeping up with ever changing world of lactation.
