I am a new grad and will be starting orientation next week for a job as staff nurse on a Telemetry unit. My legal first name is Elizabeth, but I have ALWAYS gone by Liza. Does anyone know the rules/protocols for using such a nickname on a security badge or while signing charts?
If I start by using Liza Last Name, can I just continue to sign that way as long as I am consistent? My license is in my legal full name.
