Networking on ILCA's Discussion Board
The Discussion
Board is a good place to network with your colleagues! These
recent threads in the Hospital-based IBCLCs section invite
your input. Log
in to the Board and share your experience! Be sure to
include your city, country, and email address.
Electronic documentation
Our hospital is transitioning to computer documentation.
Has anyone had experience creating an online lactation documentation
form or have worked in a hospital that uses a computerized
lactation documentation form?
HR Guidelines
I would be interested in having some specific guidelines
… regarding staffing and salaries to give my employer.
Right now they have me lumped in with the general nursing
staff in regards to salary level. How can I help them see
me as a Lactation Consultant rather than the staff nurse I
was?
