Opinions on getting CCS

I do not need to get the CCS for my job. However, I was thinking I might try for it since their is a reduced testing fee through January. The ONLY reason I'd do it to prove I can and I don't know if that is reason enough to go through it (I know from the credentials I do have that testing is brutal - lengthy, brain busting, stressful, etc.)

I don't want to seem like a smarty pants to my coworkers to get a third credential. I would be the only one with three, even over any bosses I have. I think it would come across like that, especially when only one credential was needed at my current job. When I went for the second, I never told anyone, I just did it. Not many people at my job had a credential at all and the hospital then required it so they had to obtain one and most went for the CCS. Most got it but one failed.

I don't foresee them ever outsourcing our work in my years I have left to work but I still think it is good to have every credential I can obtain to protect myself. However, I know what I went through with the other two tests and since I don't really need to, I wonder if I should torture myself just to prove I can get the CCS.

Just speaking out loud and wondering what others think. I'm curious about opinions. Thanks.
