A big THANK YOU to each of you... I learn so much through the posts and am 
grateful for a place to access this wisdom.

I am an aspiring IBCLC (2008/2009, I hope!) who has been approached by a 
local hospital for a job on the floor. I am not an RN but M.A. Counselling 
Psych, Certified Lactation Counselor, Lactation Educator, Certified Birth & 
Postpartum Doula in private practice x 10 years.(Prior to this, was a hospital 
social worker x 5 years- familiar with medical terminology/mileu)  I've assisted 
over 700 dyads, and LOVE this work. 

I recognize that there can be some debate over hospitals hiring non-RNs in 
lactation, but feel I have a lot to offer, and humbly, of course, lots to learn.

Does anyone have a job description/salary range for non-RN lactation 
educators in the hospital setting?  Anything else you could share that might 
support this position would be appreciated.   I would like to influence them to 
hire me.

Many thanks,
Renee Mandala
