Identification tag

Published

Our agency doesn't have ID tags. I feel like "I" should have one. Just a "your name, RN". Is this silly? Does anybody have this? I feel like it would clear things up when I have to meet other healthcare providers. I can see the look on peoples faces until I introduce myself as blah blah, RN. Is there like an RN standard for this if I do order one for myself?

I have a photo ID badge with name, title, and company name. I wear it for one of my cases, as I transport him from school to home, and there is always an officer and other official-types present on the premises. Plus, I feel more official when picking him up. For my other case, I don't wear it, but it is always in my bag.

I actually asked my patient's Mum for a letter on company letterhead to that effect, just to keep in my car for this purpose, she told me "just use your paystub" I think I'd much rather have a short little blurb on company stationary that says yup, she's legit...
