OK, here's mine,

We've had a patient named Harry Dick (no joke)

Used to have a Dr. Dakters

Used to have a Dr. Gaddipatti (overhead operators made it sound like gotta potty)

And the finale, my last name is Kushen (sounds like cushion) and we once had a supervisor who started calling me pin (my first name is Lynn), therefore I'm Pin Kushen to my coworkers. My daughters hate it when I mention that I considered naming them Whoopi!

I know of a psychiatrist here in Sydney who is unfortunately named Dr. Allnutt!!

Ive also had a patient call me a "half nurse" as Im an Enrolled Nurse (similar to an LPN in the USA). He said if I were a "full nurse" I'd be a Registered Nurse. I wasnt sure whether to take offense or just laugh!!

Last year, a patient having her 9th baby chose the name Noah saying it's 'cause there will be "no-a more"

My sister was finishing nursing school and decided to get married before she finished. Her new husband's name was Brain. Her first Initial is P. Her nursing signature would have been P. Brain, RN if she hadn't hyphenated her maiden name to her new married name.

I am a nursing student in Tucson, AZ USA

My name is Paul T. Kreul

I am hoping that people will address me as "Nurse Paul" instead of the traditional "Nurse Kreul".

People get a good chuckle out of it, and it is usually a good icebreaker. I think the best part is that NO ONE ever forgets my name.

My first dentist's name was Dr. Holler.
