Must be an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. Proficiency in Spanish/English and a background in outpatient clinic settings are highly preferred.
Market context
In Texas, nursing roles like this often draw steady demand in dialysis and other patient-care settings because employers need licensed LVN/LPN candidates who can start safely and learn specialized workflows. These positions can be competitive when they require a current license, preferred dialysis experience, and completion of a training program soon after hire. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits here to save time, then confirm you meet the license, color-recognition, and training expectations before applying.
