how do I list degrees earned?

I find myself surprised that I am unsure of how to list my newly earned masters degree. In addition to this, I am sorry to admit that I dont really know the difference between BS and BSN; and MS vs. MSN... ( I know what they stand for; I just dont know what makes them different... if they are...) I earned a masters of science in Nursing, specializing in nursing education...

So do I list my name, RN, BSN, MSN? or just my name, RN, MSN? silly me...

Your school should be able to tell you whether your degree is an MS vs. an MSN. I would check with them. I know we were specifically told that we will have a master of science (MS) with a major in nursing, not an MSN. It's all semantics, but if you're striving for accuracy here, they should be able to let you know.

As for your titles following your name, here is an article that addresses that. Wikipedia seems to agree.

If you completed a Master of science in nursing and a specilization in education I would suggest using: Jane Doe, RN, MSN/ED

If a Master of Science in nurisng only: Jane Doe, RN, MSN

This varies per individual and institution policy regarding name tags and listing of credentials.

Hope this helps...
