<<This bothers me, too. But did you notice your own signature line? Like
most RN’s you have “added-on” the IBCLC credential after your other
credentials. Shouldn’t anyone who considers them self an IBCLC first list that first as
the primary credential??? I’ve noticed this even with those who were IBCLC
first and “added-on” an RN (i.e., they still sign them selves “Jane Doe, RN,
IBCLC, RLC” instead of “Jane Doe, IBCLC, RLC, RN”)>>
PS. I welcome any comment on this, as it has been running around in my head
lately and Jan’s post just provided an opportunity to ask the Lactnet
community for their opinions.
Flossie,
I thought of this when I signed my name, but typically when putting in
credentials, you sign them in the order received -- at least that is the way I've
always been told that it was done. Hence the RN -- and then would be a BA
and then MA then IBCLC as I received them in that order. I don't consider my
MA an "add on" to my RN -- especially since it is in counseling, not nursing,
but a completely separate credential, just as I consider my IBCLC a separate
credential.
My husband's credentials are RPh, MS, and then a bunch of other certified
something or others which I can never remember -- including Licensed Nursing
Home Administrator, and Certified Heath Care Executive.... If he ever uses
them, he puts them in that order.
Jan Barger, RN, MA, IBCLC
