Absolutely not! We are professionals and hiding our identity from our patients only interferes with establishing interpersonal relationships which are the foundation of good patient care. Perhaps some units in hospitals would make such a decision, but that should be a facility decision, not a regulation across Virginia nursing practice. I do not see why the State Board of Nursing would need to write regulations controlling nursing behavior at this level. This level of regulation is a waste of taxpayer money.
