Vanity Plates?

Nurses General Nursing

Random curiosity propelled me to create this post.

Have you ever seen anyone driving in your town, city, or highway with those license plates that state, RN, PA, NP, MD on the back?

What do you all think about that? Is that something you would consider doing?

What benefits could you see from doing it; or do you think the negatives of having one of those plates outweigh the positives?

Why would you, or why wouldn't you get professional vanity plates?

Mine has been CRNA since I graduated from anesthesia school in 1991. Don't care what others think.?

Specializes in OR.

Since I got out of nursing school, mine has been my (real) initials and RN. Even though some aspects of nursing have chewed me up and spit me out, I have picked myself up and moved on. Regardless of what other people feel about the nursing profession and the commercialization and/or business of healthcare in this country, I am proud of what I accomplished. Nursing has given me a sense of accomplishment as well as a fairly comfortable lifestyle. I busted my orifice and made it through and I can sleep at night knowing I made someone else’s life a little better for a bit and I thought about someone besides myself. When I get down, that stupid little plate on my car is a reminder of the things I can do that at one time I never thought possible.

...and yes it’s helped me weasel out of a well deserved speeding ticket or two.??.

Veterans- my husband has a hat from an aircraft carrier he was on. I think veterans sometimes like to show pride in what they feel is the most important thing they have ever been part of. He totally avoids the Vietnam image. He does not want pity or thanks. That was just a part of his life, not a particularly good part, and not something he wanted to be involved with, he had no choice.

But it is a matter of personal choice, and I would never judge someone's desire to show pride in any school, career, or thing they were passionate about with a vanity plate.
