I think patients have a right to know who their caregivers are.  Additionally, as licensed nursing staff, our full name is readily available on the DHP website.  And for those that have additional information attached to their file, their full name, address, and sometimes telephone number, is available for the world to see.  Lastly, as a state employee, my salary and position is also available as public information.  I don't necessarily have a problem with this, because I knew this going into the nursing/public employee career field.  However, I think patient's should have access to our first and last names and have a right to know who is providing their care during their most vulnerable times.
