Id
 

I worked in a prison in another state.  First and last name was on our ID badge.  It was evident that prisoners looked us up and knew more about us that they should.  When I worked in Long term care, Hospitals, Home care, my full name was on my Id badges. There were times I was not comfortable with patients/ clients knowing my last name.     I would prefer, just my first name ,only,  is printed on my ID badge.
