April Fools- Admission slips

Published

I was thinking about playing a fun joke this year on April Fools by making up some fake April Fools admission slips for the next oncomming shift. Where I work, when the supervisor calls us to give us a new admission we write the name/diagnosis/doctor on these admission slips. They'll come to work and see all these slips and think they're getting a lot of admits but they'll all say something like this:

Name- Pinocchio

Dx- Cellulitis of the nose

Md- Dr Geppetto.

Any other ideas?

Kinda reminds me of what I was going to do to my NM last night... I had a little guy that loves to play jokes on the nurses (with other peoples help). Like yesterday, with his moms help he toilet papered the computer in his room, so while he was sleeping I got him back :) I taped a few pieces of toilet paper to his fan, hung Garfield from the IV pole above his head and then Spongebob had an "accident" so we wrapped his head in kerlex. I was joking that I should right up a fake QA form on Spongebob's accident, but I wasn't sure how well my NM would take the joke. My night shift Assistant NM and the charge nurse thought it was hilarious though :)

We did this one year in OB with such pts as:

White, S.

G1 P0

FOB unknown,Multiple partners, possible dwarfism

(Yes we are a sick bunch - that was the mildest of them)

I agree you need to know your coworkers - some of the things we wrote would probably offend many, but we had a hoot with it.
