One of my friends applied for a full  time lactation job at a hospital-- she 
was already there part time in  lactation.  She was told that if she was a 
full time lactation consultant,  then she would have to "work the floors" as an 
RN as part of being full  time.  Since she needed full time work, and wanted to 
stay in lactation --  not be pulled at the whim of administration or based on 
how busy they were or  who didn't show up, she chose to leave that hospital 
and was snapped up by  another in a heartbeat.  

 
Very sad, and a great loss to the hospital she left.
