How Many Letters Do We Need?

Published

I'm serious. I have attained a

Masters in Nursing, two nurse certifications but...

I WANT MORE!!!

Sure---those who know me, freely laugh that I'm SHOW-BIZ honey always ready to make extra money but...

I WANT MORE!!!

I teach

try not to preach yet still...

I WANT MORE!!!

is this a nurse thing?

I am BTDT, ADN. I make six figures working part time.

I do not feel the need for any additional education, certifications, or letters after my title.

My gratification comes on payday. My salary is deposited to my checking account, while I work from home in my pajamas.

Man! I want your job!!!

I had forgotten that little gem. That's something my Dad used to say when anybody called him doctor. With one small change though: His version was BS [we all what that means], more of the same, piled higher and deeper.

In my opinion, nurses are some of the most well-rounded professionals in the healthcare industry

In more ways than one.

The need to have every alphabet soup acronym after your name, as some do on this forum, is ridiculous. It is egotistical and superfluous. To list anything but your current licensure and certification is overkill. Just saying.
