"Alphabet soup" credentials are listed in this order, after your name:
(1) [highest] academic degree (BS; I use JD which assumes an undergraduate
degree);
(2) licensure (RN)
(3) state designations or requirements (like a license, but indicating
specialized authority, like APN)
(4) national/international certifications (IBCLC!)
(5) awards/honors (FILCA, or FAAP)
This is based on US traditions.
