Unprofessional
 

I try to imagine what other learned professions would do. Imagine meeting your doctor or dentist as Amanda Q or Harry M. No one has made a strong case from research that there is a need to protect the nurse by hiding her/his name - amd I worked in psych my entire career. If you want to limit the letters, put first initial and last name AND THE TITLE, RN.
