I equate  this wish with the exam takers who are  taking the 
exam primarily  because they think their hospitals will give them   
raises>>>>>>>>

Barbara, 
 
Interesting that I just heard last week, for the first time in my  
recollection, an LC from a hospital (I think it was Shady Grove in MD) said that  the 
hospital just recently raised the "pay rate" for LCs to compensate/recognize  
them for their IBCLC credential.
 
I do not know what the amount is, or equates to, or if it would be  
considered a significant amount of money, but, it does seem a step in the right  
direction.
