MSN RN here. I echo all of what indigo said. If you are not at least an RN, you are going to have a really hard (though not absolutely impossible) time finding a lactaction consultant job in a hospital. You may be able to find a job in a clinic or perhaps in a not-for-profit that offers services to the community. If you're really set on becoming a lactaction consultant in a hospital, best bet is to suck it up and get an associate's degree, work a year in L&D, and then get your certification.
