Hello!
My name is Natasha Sears, I am a practicing LPN in Kansas, as well as a BSN student at Kansas Wesleyan University. I have been lerking around since the last part of January as part of a classroom project. I have found this listserve so enlightening! I have breastfed my own three children, and have one more on the way. My educational goal has been to become a Nurse Mid-Wife in my area, as well as a CLC. I do have to say, however, that support from a great majority of our local physicians is low. I have also found, speaking as a mother, that the mother/baby unit of the hospital is not so breastfeeding-friendly. Unfortunately, the nursing staff is simply not qualified - nor are many of them interrested in taking the extra time to help a new (or experienced) mom deal with breastfeeding issues. Does anyone have some suggestions on introducing a policy that requires some kind of breastfeeding education to the medical staff? We do have at least one CLC/RN on staff,
however, she is not available 24/7. Are there other hospitals out there that do require, or strongly reccommend any CEU's in this area for obstetrical RN's?
