I support the revision to protect the identity of the nurse. first name and last initial is good. Those working in high risk areas, i.e. ED, OB, etc. are at the highest risk for stalking or accusation of anything harmful to the nurses' reputation. Therefore nurses are just giving their first name when ID themselves to patients. First names are the easier to remember by a patient/client who is in distress or sedated.
