Putting your credentials on a nurse name badge

Your name goes on the first line (up to 30 characters) and your credentials on the second (up to 35). Many nurses follow the credential order recommended by the American Nurses Credentialing Center: highest degree earned, then licensure, then state designations, then national certifications — for example “MSN, RN, CCRN” or “BSN, RN”.

Some employers prefer licensure first (“RN, BSN”). Use whatever your facility asks for — we print exactly what you type.

Check your facility's badge policy

Several states and many hospital systems require patient-facing staff to wear identification that shows their license type, and some ask for first name only. Check your unit's dress code before ordering, especially if you float between facilities.

Most hospitals still issue their own photo ID for door access. A personalized acrylic name badge is worn alongside it, so patients and families can read your name and role at a glance.

Badges for students, new grads and nurse practitioners

Nursing students often wear “Student Nurse” plus their school name on line two, and new graduates frequently order an updated badge after passing the NCLEX. Nurse practitioners usually list their certification, for example “FNP-C” or “DNP, APRN”.

Magnet or pin back?

Magnet back

  • No holes in shirts, scrubs or blazers
  • Quick to move between outfits
  • Best on light and medium-weight fabric

Pin back

  • Holds firmly on thick knits, fleece and aprons
  • Slightly lower price
  • No magnet — suitable near implanted medical devices

Pacemaker or ICD? Choose the pin back. Device manufacturers advise keeping magnets away from implanted cardiac devices, and a name badge sits close to the chest.

Ordering for a team

Add one badge per person: type their name and title, click “Add to cart”, then type the next name. In the badge maker your logo and design stay set between names, so every badge matches. Each person becomes a separate line in your cart, so nothing gets mixed up. For long lists, email the names and titles toinfo@avdeb.com and we'll help you put the order together.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put my credentials on a nurse name badge?

Yes. Line two holds up to 35 characters, which fits most credential strings such as “RN, BSN”, “LPN”, “CNA” or “MSN, RN, CCRN”. For very long strings, choose the 3″ × 1.5″ size.

Are magnetic name badges safe if I have a pacemaker?

If you have a pacemaker or ICD, choose the pin back. Device manufacturers advise keeping magnets away from the implant, and a badge on the chest sits close to it. Ask your cardiologist if you're unsure.

Will a magnetic badge damage my scrubs?

No. The magnet holds the badge through the fabric, so there are no pin holes. On thick fleece or quilted jackets a pin back holds more securely.

What order should my nursing credentials be in?

A common convention (ANCC) is highest degree, then licensure, then state designations, then national certifications — e.g. “MSN, RN, CCRN”. Many employers use “RN, BSN” instead. We print exactly what you type, so follow your facility's preference.

Can I order matching badges for my whole unit?

Yes. Add one badge per nurse with their own name and credentials — each becomes a separate line in the cart. For a long list, email the names to info@avdeb.com and we'll help.

Can I add my hospital's logo?

Yes. Choose the 3″ × 1.5″ size for the most room, then upload the logo in our badge maker as you order — it shows on the preview right away. Emailing it to info@avdeb.com with your order number works too. Make sure your employer allows its logo on staff-purchased badges.
