How do you sign your name?

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.

    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).

    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.

    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 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.

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

    I LOVE stamps!!

    I have one that says "CONFIDENTIAL" and one that states my school nurse office and address. I stamp school health records that I print and send to other schools, but I sign underneath. I love to slap that CONFIDENTIAL stamp all over envelopes that I send out though. Makes me happy. :D

    I don't sign enough by hand anymore to warrant getting a stamp with my signature on it, although that WOULD be cool.
