Using the initials

Hi Everyone,

Hopefully this isn't a really silly question but I was wondering if I should be using the LPN initials behind my name when I'm doing profession things like filling out job applications etc. Thank you, Jules

Hi Jules - no question is silly. Since you are filling out job apps, there will be a place for your name and another spot for your license and credentials.

However, on your cover letter and the heading of your resume, I would most certainly use your initials. Good luck job hunting.
