The problem with basing staffing guidelines on current staffing patterns is
that if staffing is poor in many hospitals then you are setting up poor
standards.  But I do think having that information is important so we know
where we are coming from. Staffing guidelines need to be based on what it
takes to provide the type of care Lactation Consultants give. I believe that
a large amount of the problem in hospitals is that we are managed by nurses
that may not know very much about what Lactation Consultants do. We have to
have the kind of support a professional organization can give us.  So I
agree joining ILCA is essential, but we also need to let ILCA know what we
need.  Is this only a problem in the US or in other areas?
