First name and last inital on name badge
 

I have been a psych nurse for many years and only have my first name listed on my badge.  Patients rarely ask why my last name is not listed and do not seem to have issues with no last name.  For the most part I think patients and family members biggest concerns are good quality care and to be treated with courtesy and respect and are not so much focus on a staff member’s last name.
