Dear listmates,
 
Would like to hear any and all opinions from RNs (labor and delivery  
especially, but also could be home health or public health nurses) who took the  CLC 
training and were not IBCLC's at the time.  It is being offered in  our area 
next month and one of the home care MCH nurses I work with will be  taking it.  
Also, I was asked to post by a CNM in the area if you wise  Lactnetters had 
any insight as to the training's effectiveness for L&D  nurses in improving 
their clinical skills with assisting breastfeeding  women.  Looking at the 
curriculum, it certainly seems quite  comprehensive.  I heard someone say or read 
somewhere that it is on the  same level as the training that an aspiring La 
Leche League leader would go  through to become accredited.  Is that a fair 
comparison?  Please post  on or off list.
 
Thank you for your assistance.
