We are not adding any credentials at this time due to space constraints. We appreciate the suggestions though for future additions. Thank you

If you're a diploma grad, then you just check "RN." I didn't use this option because my certification and nursing license level (RN) are incorporated into my user name.

Diploma grads have the same right to be as proud of their education as the others.

Thats absolutely correct Caliotter. However, a diploma is not a degree and so is not used in a professional signature. That is why it was not included.

There are many certifications and credentials that we are proud of. What we are offering is the chance to add degree credentials.

Thanks again everyone for the suggestions.

Out of curiosity, why does my username list CNA before RN? From my understanding, RN would be first. I also have noticed some who have LVN, RN. Would that be the correct order? This is something about which I often wonder especially when I see long postnomials.

Computer setup lists credentials alphabetically, no way to program variables which credential first/ last.

One can uncheck prior credential eg CNA and list only latest degree + licensure upon moving up nursing ranks. :)

I had to renew my lpn license while finishing up my rn degree. I then sat for and passed nclex rn do for about 18 months when you looked me up on my states licensing site, I did indeed hold two different current licenses
