Name on Name Tags
Can a nurse have a name different from the name on his/her license on
the facility/agency nametag?
The
name on the license card originates from the nurse’s application for
Alabama licensure. The name remains the same unless the nurse requests
a name change in writing from the Alabama Board of Nursing. The request
may be made on-line on the ABN website (www.abn.state.al.us).
A request to the
Alabama Board of Nursing for name change will not be processed until
appropriate documentation is received in the ABN office. You may FAX a
copy of marriage certificate, divorce decree, etc. to (334)
242-0541 attn: Annette. Duplicate license may take up to 14
days to be received.
It is up to facility
policy whether or not to allow nametags to reflect the name of the
license or another name. |
