I was going to write something fairly long about how I had to make sure my academic credentials wouldn't possibly lead to confusion. But I worry that these sorts of things get out of hand, and just cause more anxiety. So, suffice to say, I now have "Tertiary Care Nurse Practitioner Certificate (UWO, 1998)" after my other academic credentials.
I used to joke that I wanted more letters AFTER my name than my name. Hmm. I've succeeded now, for sure. But the point for me is that I earned those credentials & I don't want someone to think because I now have to spell out the whole thing, I'll just give up and go away. Definitely not my style.
You do have a lot of letters after your name!
ReplyDeleteI have the usual RN, BScN, PHN... and am thinking about getting credentials to do assessments for client's who want to get be admitted into addiction treatment centres not sure if it will warrant any letters.

I think credentials are always useful--as long as they are relevant/legit.
