[ID] 405 [Interest Areas] Lactation Professional [Comment] Our hospital has one full time IBCLC, me, 2 recently IBCLC RNs who work NICU as staff nurses but fill in for me from time to time. One other newly certified IBCLC who teaches our Spanish classes and also covers for me. We have 2 mother baby nurses who are CLCs, one nights, one day, one newborn nursery nurse (who is great! She puts babies on the breast in the OR while mom is being sutured!, she is a CLC. Our patient call back/PT educator RN also was required to become a CLC to help triage calls while following up with patients. She typically is not on the floor unless needed. Many times these nurses do not cover for me if the floor is too busy. I am the only RN, IBCLC who is not staffed for patient care (I do help out in times of insanity). In times of crisis budgets I believe our hospital is doing a decent job. [Topic]
