Amendment to Name Tag Regulation
 

I agree with first name only.  Currently the first name overshadows the last and staff call each other by the first name.  To keep the first name makes it easier for all.  First name protects the safety and privacy of the staff. The full name makes it easier to locate the nurse and may encourage violent acts by disgruntled patients.
