I'm going to be working out of the hospital for the first time and in an elementary school and was wondering how you normally have students address you?
I have a hard to say hyphenated name and in NICU world, I always introduced myself to parents as by my first name and that I was the nurse taking care of their child.
When I did a stint in pediatrics I introduced myself to the children as "Nurse FIRST NAME."
I know that titles and formality are more common in schools but even the administrator who hired me can't seem to say my last name so was just curious if most people go by Mr/Ms. Last Name. If so, does anyone else have harder to say names and how do they handle that??
Looking forward to having this board and I wade into unfamiliar waters ....
