Ive also had a patient call me a "half nurse" as Im an Enrolled Nurse (similar to an LPN in the USA). He said if I were a "full nurse" I'd be a Registered Nurse. I wasnt sure whether to take offense or just laugh!!
My sister was finishing nursing school and decided to get married before she finished. Her new husband's name was Brain. Her first Initial is P. Her nursing signature would have been P. Brain, RN if she hadn't hyphenated her maiden name to her new married name.
