The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) brochure How to Display Your Credentials recommends that credentials be listed in a specific order. For the typical nurse without advanced degrees, it is reasonable to include (in this order):
- Highest earned degree
- Licensure
- National Certification
Example: Sarah Wilson, BSN, RN, PCCN
In addition, our Marketing Department has published an Email Signature and Email Guidelines template for all employees. The template reads:
