I agree with this proposal to have some nurse identity within health care. Why does the patient need to know your last name? What if a patient gets agree or hostile and decides to look you up? A person can google or look ukkp almost anyone in this day and age. Nurses deserve some privacy as well. As you introduce yourself, you could just say "Hi, my name is Kelli and I will be your nurse today." etc.
