I am an LVN who is employed as an CLC( studying to take exam) in a hospital.
I just wanted to comment how unfair it is to be paid so much lower than an
Lc who is an RN. I am very well qualified with a lot of years experience
here in the hospital and feel I should be compensated on the LC scale.
Sincerely nameless

Did they know you are an RN?
That might have been a factor in the size of your "gift".
No, actually with my now 7 yr old, I was still a nursing student. My other
two of course I was an RN, but I don't believe they asked my occupation on
the little questionairre. I could be wrong....Never thought about that
lol. I
do know lots of other moms, through LLL that have received similar "gifts"
and they marked the breast only box too. Would be interesting to study
what
kind of "gifts" the different boxes marked get you lol. Oh and Carnation
Good
Start sent me a "baby's first year calendar" and all kinds of neato stuff,
of course it said very little about breastfeeding and lots and lots about
their "comfort proteins" (How much more comfortable can your proteins be
from
the breast??) Problem with that, was I NEVER filled out or contacted that
company in any way, so somehow the word gets out. Whether someone thought
they
were doing me a favor, or my Dr. sold my name...whatever. It is an uphill
battle girls, those companies KNOW who's pg and who isn't...and they target
them
BIG time.

Subject: Domperidone Use
Hello Wise Ones. I am a avid reader of Lacnet, but very little poster, I
have come here to seek opinions.
As a LLL leader & LE, I do frequent many online forums to see what Moms are
doing in search of resolving many BF problems. One thing I am seeing more &
more often is Moms with "low milk supply", not really sure if percieved or
true low milk supply, as that is hard to assess online, going straight to
Dom. They are getting it via the internet or sharing amongst friends. Many
are bypassing other traditional herbal galacatgogues ie. fenugreek,
alfalfa, blessed thistle & going straight to a pharmaceutical.
How do you feel about that? Not sure there is a good answer, but seems to
me that they are jumping the gun on it. Not sure if it is good or bad.

Subject: non-RN LCs
FWIW, I do think that for hospital work it would be very helpful to know
more about medicine and surgery and nursing, not to mention hospital
hierarchies, than I do. In a perfect world, I think hospitals should
absolutely hire IBCLCs who aren't nurses, but all IBCLCs should also have
some education in their specific practice setting. So, those working in
hospitals would have to do some coursework or orientation that would
briskly cover a wide range of pertinent material including hospital
administrative structures & routines, basic childbirth management (in
hospitals -- and out of them), the bare-bones basics of anesthesia &
radiology, etc. If we want all hospital personnel who might work with
breastfeeding mothers/babies to have a basic idea of lactation, it seems to
me LCs could reasonably be expected to understand how their work intersects
with the rest of the hospital. It's too easy to make silly mistakes,
otherwise. LCs who aren't RNs need all the credibility they can get.
I've had people say to me "how does your hospital dare to have a non-RN
doing hands-on clinical work with patients?" I don't know why this would
be a problem when (as others have pointed out to me) occupational
therapists and physical therapists, for example, are not nurses either.
