Do you have a nickname at work?

Published

One of my coworkers has for some reason nicknamed me 'sexy knickers'...I don't mind coz he's gay...would be a different story if he was straight!! I also have been called 'the lion tamer' (we had an aggressive psych patient that I got calm with out meds)

When I was a CNA I helped with circs - a lot. My babies never cried, and they called me "The Baby Whisperer". The residents always asked for me when they were doing circs :cheeky:

I am "The Golden Retriever" since I have hands and wrists small enough to dig documents out of the narrow slot of the "Shred" bin when someone accidentally throws something in there they really didn't mean to! HAHA!!

I have a few. Some based on my name, some based on my personality. The patients give some too, when we have long term patients introduce me as the "cool nurse" or the " Crazy as we are nurse"... yeah those are my favorite ones.

At my last job they started calling me the "Angel of Death" after I had a few DNR patients die on me in a two week period. At my job I haven't earned a nickname yet, which is fine with me. :up:

Outside of "Blackcloud" at my last job which was nothing unique, everyone was calling me Mexiwegian because I am half Mexican and half Norwegian but our Doc and Medical Director changed it to Norexican. So that's what everyone calls me now.

Oh and in dealing with crazy patients people will tell me to go handle "my people" lol I've also been coined the urethra whisperer because I haven't had a cath I couldn't get since Nursing School.
