I am not sure if anyone has discussed this before but I think this needs action from us all....
I just went to the Secretary of State website to find out the status of my license and realized I could type a last name of any licensed nurse and find there home address. Give it a try, I could find any of my coworkers old classmates etc... (this is in Ga., I am not sure about other states)
I dont have much of a problem with it because I am a guy and dont think I will be stalked anytime soon but for the 75% of the female nurses out there it is a tragedy waiting to happen.
As nurses, we deal with all sorts of people, both good and bad. I for one do not want my patients having my home address without my knowledge.
I am going to send a letter to the Secretary of State to ensure this matter gets resolved but this is a heads up that I may need your help.
Thanks
Jim
