Different Titles (initials)

Don't forget DSN - dayshift nurse.

SnowShoeRN, Master of Science in Nursing (my highest degree earned from grad school), Nurse Practitioner (I am a nationally certified Nurse Practitioner having passed NP boards from a certifying organization).

I had APRN after my username too, but figured it was getting a little long so I took it off. Although it still applies to me since I am a licensed Advanced Practice Registered Nurse who is licensed to practice as an advanced practice nurse. This is something granted by the state in which you wish to work.

Hope this helps a little. :)

MSN, RN, IBCLC

RN=Registered Nurse

MSN=Master of Science in Nursing

IBCLC=International Board Certified Lactation Consultant

You're overthinking this. Just put as many letters after your name to make an alphabet soup so that people think your important. Ideally start with the most important and go on. I will list mine for example.

Boss Man CNP, RN, ACLS, CWN, LPN, TMA, CSW, CTW, BLS, HSG, WGS, RGSC, MSG, TFGS, ESG, FBR, FD, BB

Explanations (certified nurse practitioner, Registered nurse, Advanced cardiac life support, certified wound nurse; you may be getting confused so i will bring you back LPN=licensed practical nurse, trained medical assistant, chainsaw safety worker, CTW=certified trail worker, basic life support, high school graduate, worlds greatest son, runner-up grade-school soccer champion, middle school graduate, teachers favorite-grade school edition (**** dylan for taking middle and high school from me and not allowing me more letters!), ESG=Elementary school graduate, first bike ride, FD=first poop (my mom pinned it on me for first "dukie" hence the D), and of course BB is being born.

Don't worry about understanding the letters. Just focus on adding more to your name.

And AARP

I just added another CFP! (certified forum poster). Gotta get the administration to print me off a new badge.

Sadly no matter how many initials u put behind ur name, none of which will ever be MD, so my dear insecure nursing fellows, if you need a title so bad to help fight ur inferiority, u should have put more effort into studying when u were in high school

CEN = Certified Emergency Nurse

RCIS = Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist

PHRN = Pre-hospital Registered Nurse

He was being facetious. And your comment is based on your 1 month worth of experience as a nurse, no?
