we have several different nursing programs in our area who have clinicals at our hospital (BFH). the nursing students have at least 2 full days with the LC as part of their OB rotation (in addition to antepartum, L&D, and postpartum). this includes a shift with the rounds LC who sees the inpatients and teaches the daily BF and baby care class for parents to attend before d/c, and a day at the postpartum care center, following the LC for about 5 or 6 appts usually when baby is 3-4 days old, and sometimes even a day with the breastfeeding center appts. if they have down time in the clinic (cancelled appts, etc) we encourage them to sit in the phone room with that LC listening and learning. one day the student assigned to follow me (doing rounds) was absent from clinical due to illness, so her instructor shadowed me all day and told me she learned so much. it was wonderful!
