I support this amendment to remove last names from ID badges
 

Nurses care for and deal with many types of people and some are not so nice. Not always the pt either. Family members can be the worse with unrealistic expectations and will read your name badge, write down your name, and yes some have gone as far as seeking you out at your home. Nurses need protection and our last names do not change how we deliver pt care. This amendment will provide nurses with protection from those we need it from.
