A lengthy list of acronyms after her name on a LinkedIn account – also known as post-nominal letters – is a testament to Lois Peloquin’s degrees and certifications.

The most recent of these were certifications in foot care, which Peloquin earned just a couple of years ago at the age of 80. It’s just one of many areas in which Peloquin has earned specialised training during more than a half-century of nursing, mostly in the Chippewa Valley, Michigan in the United States.
