Lab Coat Initials

Published

What initials do you include on your lab coat? My official initials are DNP, APRN, FNP- C. Should I include all of those? Some of those?

You have worked so hard for all of your degrees/licenses/certifications and designations. You should proudly display all of them on your coat!

I prefer just using something like APRN. Most docs I've seen just use "MD" or "DO" on their lab coat along with their specialty underneath like "Family Medicine."

What does your state dictate? In IL, we are all to sign APRN, that's it.

Mine says NP-C next to my name then on the second line "nurse practitioner"- I think this is the standard company format.
