Did you get a diploma when you graduated that says you have a BSN? If so, then you can use the BSN credential. If not, you need to use whatever title the degree you actually got entitles you to use.

You can use the RN title once you have passed the NCLEX-RN (which it sounds like you have done.)

You can use it either way you like, RN BSN or BSN RN. Whatever makes your heart beat...

The correct title is "Name, BSN, RN". The reasoning is the title you cannot loose stays closest to the name. An unethical nurse cannot loose their nursing degree (BSN), but they can loose their RN license. Hope this helps.
