Dear Lactnet friends, I am interested in starting a private lactation practice, but also, have the opportunity to present to my manager at the local hospital I am employed at as staff nurse/lactation specialist info to justify the expansion of my lactation role. I am tracking the time I spend on lactation dduties or could and want to make this succeed. I feel I have worked a number of years to achieve this status and have good working relationship with the ob/peds who consult with me on a number of the bf difficulties they encounter. I have lots to accomplish but would appreciate any input any of you have on the best way to accomplish both of these goals. I have searched the archives for info on this too. Please feel free to email me privately if you have the time and inclination to share on these issues. Sincerely, Ellen Mahony, RN, MS, LCCE, IBCLC Greenwood Lake, NY *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
