Hi all!

Boy was I surprised to see a discussion arise out of a job posting! The last
time I posted a position couple of months ago I got one personal response.

I have appreciated your concerns and would like to clarify what I said. The
position requires an RN. It has something to with the fact that we are a
union hospital. I am exempt and my department is exempt. However because of
union rules or some kind of rules our department must remain all RN. My
manager will not budge on this. All of my group are RN case managers of such
things as ped. asthma, pre-term labor, complicated OB, dietitian (RD), chem
dependency, pediatrics, NICU patients, etc. I had an IBCLC who was not an RN
lined up and was told it was not possible.  She, by the way, is working at
another hospital.

This is not the time for me to push on that issue for many reasons.

RN or not does not bother me. It does matter to me that the person knows
what /heshe is doing and is well trained and experienced and preferably has
the credential of IBCLC. Hence I am looking for someone who either has
her/his IBCLC or has lots of experience and is getting close to being able
to take the exam. Unfortunately we cannot hire a non RN at this time.

Thanks for your passionate caring about our profession as Lactation
Consultants! Someday IBCLC will be be the standard. We're in the growing
pains stage!
