Names on Badges
 

I feel that only first names should be allowed on identification badges.  Due to the amount of people that use social media we are at risk for being followed by patients that we care for.  Thakfully this has never happened to me that I am aware of but it has happened to some of my coworkers. In order to protect my privicay and my family I feel that it is necessary to remove last names from badges.
