What do you go by?

In my school there has been a gentle transition where everyone is beginning to address me as Nurse D instead of Mrs. D.

I don't mind - i mean it is my title - but then i got to thinking about how it may come off as snooty or strange or something.

On one hand, the kids and staff immediately know who your talking about if you said Nurse Flare instead of Mrs. Flare (and that's how it began - i took over an extra curricular club and after the kids got confused as to whom the papers were to be returned to, i changed the form to say Nurse instead of Mrs.)- but on the other hand, i don't think it's a title most school nurses use... or do they?

I mean so many of my students just refer to me as nurse or The nurse....

Thoughts?? Perhaps i am over thinking this...

All I can say is that I'm glad you asked this question, because I wondered it myself!

As an aside, I was a bit surpprised about this thread. To get to work, I go by a shopping center, a McD's, some banks, etc...

What I preferred to be addressed as is another different thing, entirely.

When my son was school, I was on a first name basis with all his friends....he has been long graduated and now for the most part it is Ms. Lastname, a few kids will call be by my first name, but that is usually only after a long relationship....makes no difference to me. One teacher calls me "Flo" short for Florence Nightengale and another refers to me a "doc".....all with respect and good humor!.

I go by Mrs. last name or nurse last name :)

Mrs. C or Mrs Nurse some staff cal me nursy poo

I am "Nurse ______", Mrs. ________; "Nurse", and sometimes my first name. I honestly don't mind the kids calling me by my first name. I look at it like this, my patients in the hospital called me by first name and my patients in the physician's office called me by my first name, it's OK for the kids to call me by my first name. I really don't have a preference ;)

I'm Nurse Krystina :nurse:
