Amendment to name tag proposal
 

I agree with the regulation amendment proposal for use of first name and the initial of the last name only to be on nursing staff ID badges.  This provides protection for all nursing staff, not only those in the emergency and psychiatric care settings.  All areas within the hospital care for the same patient populations.
