I have been given a "Project" at my work (a retail type store for
breastfeeding families) to list and explain the initials after a persons
name that might give out breastfeeding info and the most common amount of
training associated with the level one with those initials may have.
I usually tell folks that I am a Breastfeeding counselor.  I took a 40-50
hour course and was certified, but if I never look at another shred of BF
info again I won't lose my certification.  But that an IBCLC has to prove
so many hours with moms every five yrs(?) and has to retest every 10
years.  These both have to happen of they lose their certification,

I know:
RN-Registered Nurse not necessarily w/ or w/o a bachelors degree, is this a
state test?
You can respond privately as well as the list: [log in to unmask]
TIA
