My mother and I worked at the same hospital for many years. She was on a surgical unit, then on orthopedics, where I was on cardiac step-down and later pulmonary, so our areas did not overlap much at all. We didn't have any problem with it. Of course, by the time I started working there, I had candystriped and then had nursing school clinicals at the same facility, so it was no big deal.

We got a lot of "are you related to..." questions, and especially, since we had the same last name, and it was an uncommon one, we would get "there's a nurse on X unit with that same name."

She was a great nurse, and I never minded being known as her daughter.
