ID badges.
 

I support the proposal for Nursing badges to contain first name and last name initial. I work in psychiatry and I am hyper vigilant about not discolomg any personal information. However, with my last name on my badge it would give the patients an advantage in finding information about me. Luckily our unit implemented this years ago. We are provinding care for patients that suffer from addiction and psychiatric issues, safety for the nurses that care for them should be a priority.
