Do you guys think RN or BSN, MSN jewelry is corny? I bought a BSN necklace and now I'm embarassed. What do you guys think? My job doesn't put the credentials on the badge, stating that if they start, people will want to change their badges everytime they get new credentials.

I think your facility should be happy if people are wanting to change their badges for hard earned credentials! Education is a bonus to any employee! They should encourage it!
I think your necklace is fine :)
I think it is unprofessional. Do you see Dr.s, or PharmD's, or Lawyers wearing such things. Nope. But you do see rappers and wannabe thugs sporting their bling. By trying to show your peers that you are better than them because you have your BSN you are making yourself , and likely the other nurses in your hospital (GBA) look less than professional in the patients eyes.
It is one thing to have a petite necklace with a pendant vs snow chains with a amulet.

I don't think the hurtful part of that patient's comment had anything to do with the degree... it's the JUST a nurse part I don't like. JUST the person that's taking care of him...
