Dear all,

No, it isn't true.  I'm sure someone in the IBLCE office will concur with me.
 There is no move afoot (abreast?) to make a BSN a requirement for the IBLCE
exam.  However, there is, of course, nothing to stop the NCC (National
Certification Corporation) from developing a nursing certification exam for
lactation (which would confer an RNC) and which might require a BSN.  But to
date I haven't heard that NCC is contemplating such a thing.
