First Name Only / ID Badge
 

I am in favor of first name only on ID badges for nursing staff. It's been brought to my attention that staff in some facilities/locations (ie. psychiatry/emergency departments) are only obligated to have their first name on their badge for safety reasons.. and I feel all nursing staff should be held to the same standard.
