How do you sign your name?

[ohiobobcat]

This is inspired by another thread. How do you sign your name when you sign off on stuff at work? I use my first initial and full last name. Like this: O. Bobcat, RN I have a pretty unique last name, and there are no other nurses in my state with my first initial and last name.

My boss at my previous place of employment told me I needed to use my full name when I signed, but I never changed the way I sign after she told me that (I'm such a rebel!)

I use my full name including middle initial when I sign non-nursing related things.

[TheCommuter, BSN, RN]

I sign my name T. Commuter, RN (first initial, last name & title) on workplace documents. After a decade of doing this, I have no intentions of changing a thing.

On academic papers I sign my name The Commuter, BSN, RN, CRRN (first name, last name, degree, licensure, professional certification).

[joanna73, BSN, RN]

J. Lastname RN on work related documents.

Joanna Lastname BSCN RN GNCC on academic papers and resume.

I use my first and last name. I was always told that you need to sign your name as it appears on your nursing license. So that's what I do.

[mmc51264, BSN, MSN, RN]

Well... It's my name, but I have such terrible handwriting, no one could ever tell! First, last, RN. Sometimes I have to print it out for transport and that is hard.

I sign my name as "B. completely illegible scribble RN"

[BSNbeauty, BSN, RN]

P. Last name RN

[anon456, BSN, RN]

I sign my name as "B. completely illegible scribble RN"

That's how I sign it too!

[Libby1987]

I used to do a very ledgible Libby 1987 RN.

Now I do first and last initial followed by illedgible remaining last name L1~~~~RN

One of my first employers required the former but after seeing for several years how my current admin signs I quickened it up.

Do you guys use a stamp?

Do you guys use a stamp?

When I worked at a prison one of the RNs did. He told me to get one.

[NutmeggeRN, BSN]

Ha! Can I tell you HOW many times I have signed a non work related document with an RN behind it? TNTC!!!!!
