What is engraved on your stethoscope?

If you have an engraved stethoscope WHAT did you have engraved on your scope? Initials? Full name? Credentials? What have you seen on other's stethoscopes?

I know there are a bunch of these threads but i'm trying to get an idea of what I want engraved. Also, do you think I could engrave RN on my scope if I covered it up with tape until I gradutated- I don't want to commit a faux pas (and a crime) but it is cheaper to have everything engraved at once then to go back and add it after I graduate.

Opinions and Advice please!

I've just got C.L.D. engraved on mine. Those are my initals. My full name would be waaay too long ;)

I engraved my full name with credentials after them. It has been useful when others have borrowed it, it always comes back to me.

Jane Doe RN. My engraving is on a clip that attaches to my stethescope, so I didn't put it on until I was legal. I used a temporary lable that came with the stethescope until then.

I have nothing engraved on my stethoscope. I've had it since I graduated and have never lost it. However I work at a small rural hospital.
