I recently took a job at a local hospital as an intern and spoke with a new grad who told me that her title for her first year (as stated on her name badge) is not RN, but CNR-clinical nurse resident. After a year of experience, it is then changed to RN. I am not sure why this is done, how long they have been doing it, and plan to ask for more info from my manager...but it bothers me. You work so hard to earn the title of RN, I just don't feel that they should have the right to decide to call you by another title. Is that silly?
