Support SAFETY: First name, Last Initial
 

In every area of healthcare where nurses work, there will be people who are angry. After all, illness can be hard to cope with. When  nurses are threatened by angry or frustrated people, there is concern for personal safety. Limiting ID badge information so that they only include the last initial helps to protect nurses. Support this decision!
