ID regulations
 

I am in support of name tag regulation. I feel it is easier for predators to search staff and find where they reside. I have had at least two incidence where staff members were contacted by previous patients and stalked. It may not resolve all issues but it may keep the identity of the nurse somewhat harder to decipher.
