hi all, my wife is currently a bsn student in her 3rd semester of her nursing program. she told me that for christmas this year she would like a littman's stethoscope. i have found some sites that i can order these from and they offer laser etched name engravings. i would love to get this for my wife, but i am not sure what i should put after her name for her credentials. at christmas she will have 3 semesters to go before she graduates, so i would like for this gift to last longer than that.
i want to know what would be an appropriate engraving; for instance, should i put her "name, bsn" or "name rn, bsn" or would it be totally inappropriate for her to use this stethoscope during clinical's since she is still a student. i know the engraving will be small and not very noticeable to her patients, but i also know how people in the field can be about credentials.
i would like to get this sorted out without asking her, because i would like for it to be a surprise. any help would be great.
i hope she doesn't use this form.
also, should periods go after the initials (r.n. , b.s.n.) or no periods?
