Hi Sue,
I could have written the above note, except that I am in Florida and I DO NOT
want to know the pass/fail rate for recerts before the exam. Someone can tell
me after I take it. I think that we have learned so much in the last 10 yrs
that we shouldn't have any trouble passing. I need to take a few deep breaths
& relax.
I am planning to take the advice of several Lactnetters who said don't think
about breastfeeding (or at least the exam) this weekend. Thanks to all who
are posting the good advice & for all the wonderful information that we get
right here on Lactnet all the time. I have learned so much here (and not just
breastfeeding). It seems as though I am always saying "I heard about this on
Lactnet." This is the best site on the entire internet for anyone interested
in breastfeeding & expanding their knowledge of the world.
Thank you Kathleen Bruce & Kathleen Auerbach for starting such a great
resource. Thank you to all the volunteers who help facilitate this list.
Gratefully yours,
Laura Hart
Winter Park, FL
