Whatever the case, leave your Nursing Terminology Mashup and a brief explanation of it in the comments below and you'll be entered to win a 3M™ Littmann® Cardiology IV stethoscope!

Cabulance

Cab and ambulance combined. Used to describe ambulance transports in which a cab or private vehicle would have been just as well suited for the ride to the hospital, but an ambulance was used because of the false idea that the patient would 1) get there faster 2) avoid going to the waiting room and triage.
