I am glad NCC decided to institute an emeritus status, which for NCC certified nurses is not based either on age or length of certification. But I still have to pay to renew it every 3 years, and I can't use it in an employment situation. 


However, it makes me feel good to be able to exhibit something 'official' to show a significant amount of past experience/expertise in MCH that may add some depth to what I might write in that field or a related field (i.e. lactation). plus it's one of the few letters I have or ever expect to have now at age 80 to put after my name;-)
 

But please, let's not go there in IBCLC-dom at least till we get the current controversy better solved;-)
