I hope that when considering this change,  it will be viewed from all areas of nursing.  I work in a correctional center, where all staff is referred to by their last name.  Offenders are to address the nursing staff by their last name as well.  Allowing the offender population to call us by our first name is too personal.  if only our first name is displayed on our badges, the offender population will be calling us by the name on our badge. This is inappropriate in our work setting.
