Nursing Students General Students

I am wondering how much they train nursing students on breastfeeding. I recently had a friend of mine told by an ER doc that she had to quit breastfeeding because of the meds she was subscribed. She was prescribed Naprosyn (Aleve). I can't believe that the doctor was so uneducated about breastfeeding and meds. She spoke to the pharmacist who agreed with me that it was okay to take it while breastfeeding and also got a second opinion from another doctor. Anyway, I know this might not be the appropriate place to discuss it. It just seems to me that none of the medical staff are getting any training on this. I am a mom of 4 and personally have seen incompentency in nurses on their training about breastfeeding in L&D. I am still working on my prereqs and will be curious to see if the nursing program I attend even addresses this issue.
