7. Last name on badges?

   jRN2be replied to BroncoSmoLVN's topic in General Nursing

   First of all, last names should not be put on name badges. The patient has no medical reason to need to know your last name. Your boss and Admin are the only people to know- The co-workers that I have worked with for a year now dont even know my la...

12. New CNA with New Job... What would you do?

    jRN2be replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Nursing
