I support the amendment that would allow nurses to have their first name and last initial only on their ID badges. It is a safety concern that is very prevelant in the age of internet.  I have myself had a patient try to contact me on the internet and on the phone when I did not give out the information to the patient.  Understandably, if there was any issue where my full name was proven needed, than that information would have to go through the hospital and the appropriate channels.
