manikin names?

Updated:   Published

hey everyone,

My nursing school just got a new manikin and we get to come up with names for the faculty to choose. I have only come with one name and it's kind of corny! Adrena line- like adrenaline because that is really what gets me through every thing we do!

any creative ideas?

We have one where I work that is used for intubation. We call him Fred the head.

Side note: a hospital I used to work at had a lady that was in charge of all the CPR manikins and had names for each one. The story was she could recognize each one w/o turning them over to look at their back...

We named our cadavers. I don't think we named our manikins.
