I stole this post from Esohe Grace and I wanted to share it because of important it is in writing out credentials for nurses.

1. Highest earned degree

2. Licensure

3. State designations or requirements

4. National certifications

5. Awards and honors

6. Other recognitions

Understanding this order not only enhances our professional image but also ensures clarity in our qualifications. Let’s showcase our credentials the right way!

Example:

Mary Bentley, PhD, RN, CNS-BC, CCRN

Nancy Jones, DNP, ANP, CCNS, CCRN-CSC

Esohe Grace, MSN, RN, CCHP

Suzanne Smith, BSN, RN, PCCN

Chris Johnson, BSN, BA, RN, CCRN, RRT

Nurse Credential Standard – AACN
