Hi all! I took Monday's IBLCE exam in NYC (a convenient and comfortable site). Later that night I read Evi's post asking what other Lactnetters were taking it in NY too. So sorry I didn't get to your post sooner, Evi, I would have liked to meet you. Hope you're recuperating from your bronchitis. It was great to have Catherine Genna's warm smile welcome me as I arrived! Its so great to be able to put faces to the names we see on Lactnet. The photo booklet was a great improvement over the slides. I ran into a colleague I hadn't seen in 15 years and others with whom I sat the exam on Long Island 10 yrs. ago. Had a relaxed IBCLC lunch in a little NY bistro......so although it wasn't a Lactnet lunch, it was a great chance to tell colleagues who are on-line but hadn't discovered Lactnet yet, all about it! Best wishes to others who took the exam! Joyce Blangiardo RN, FACCE, IBCLC Rockville Centre, NY
