"TNCC" after "RN" and other letters of the day

It's that time again to update my resume, fluff my little feathers, and put in as many uppercase letters after my name as possible to get someone to notice me lol. Which credentials do you include? It can really get out of control. I was going to put RN, BSN; but since I was thinking of applying to another level 1 trauma center I was thinking about including TNCC. But is this considered a credential to put in your title? I wouldn't, for example, include ACLS or BLS after my name.

TNCC is not a credential. CEN on the other hand is

Yup. TNCC is just like ACLS, PALS, ENPC, etc. It is a training course, not an educational credential.

Sounds like it might be time to add CEN after the rest of your letters! :D
