Re: Allowing more than RN on name badge?

This thread was simply about asking should there be more than RN written on a name badge? IT has detiorated to a degree bashing circus in my opinion. I will discuss this with Admin and Moderators. We are not here to debate who has what qualification, and who is a better nurse.

It is often those who have the least to brag about that find it necessary to brag the most.

Commonsense tells the most ignorent person that you have some sort of education that they do not. You don't have to slam it home that your degree is pretty ordinary.

Most people with a degree have a bachelor degree.

Besides wisdom and knowledge speak for themselves. You can have ten doctoral degrees and still be an idiot.

I would rather people think me an idiot than to plaster it on my name badge and confirm it.

Most people today assume nurses have at least a bachelor degree.

Perhaps, you are trying to set yourself apart from the ADN. Then just let your practice do it for you.

Because frankly there are pleanty of ADN grads who are better than you. I feel safe in saying this because it is a simple fact of life that there will always be those better and lesser than you and some who will be better will not have your formal education. Some who have more formal education will not be as smart, wise, knowledgable as you.

In the US today ANYONE can get a bachelor degree.


wow...I'm just speechless. how....

Dear friends, let us take a cooling moment here.

Choose your words carefully in order to convey your thoughts.

Harsh words only let the reader know that your available vocabulary is somewhat limited in a moment of passionate debate.

I am of the opinion that either Initial Last name, RN is sufficient. Timothy thinks first, last and titles earned.

When you express all of your sundry ideas please take caution in the fact that we here *ARE* allnurses.

Thank you gentle people, the best,

P_RN
