Nursing Buisness Cards?

[kcheng]

I've been working as a nurse for a year and a half now .. was wondering what you guys thought of making buisness cards to keep them handy because I was at a social networking event last night .. and i didnt have anything to pass out.

and if any nurses here has buisness cards printed. what do you put on them? do you put your home address or the hospital where you work at?

thank you!

No I still won't have my name out there with contact info. IF I want to give that info to someone they can either notebook it or I will write the info on the back.

I have my own clinic, my own office, my own fax number, my own phone number....I carry a case load of patients....I go through 5-10 business cards a week.

Just to clarify: I thought the OP was referring to cards to give out to other nurses or for business or personal reasons, but NOT to give to patients. I never give out my personal information to a patient.

Vista Print has some nice cards at inexpensive prices. Yes, I'd have cards for a purely networking reason. Not for patients.

Because I'm an advanced practice nurse, I always provide my patients and family members with my first and last name. So...although I don't have business cards, I am seriously considering it.

However, in all the years I worked as a staff nurse in the ER, never ever did i give my name out to a patient or family. Too many wackos in the world.
