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)

Not me but I nickname most of our pts. One person with a farmer's tan is "Two-Tone" and one person who is so out of it that you can hear chirping when you ask a question, is called "Crickets." The pt who refuses to let me administer a shot is "The President of My Fan Club."

We pass around the title of 'code queen' (if someone is assigned to the code team for the night and has 2 or more codes that night, or, if they have a run of their own pts coding).

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.

Me too1

I know that I do, I just don't know what it is.

One of our nurses has nicknames for all of us. Some of them unkind, but all of them very funny.

However unfortunate, it is true. "The Princess of Poop"....

If there's going to be a massive code brown, guaranteed it will happen when I'm the only one around.

The going joke now is that we don't need suppositories, enemas or laxatives anymore, just assign them to the Princess.

I need a cooler nick name!

Then call yourself Princess POP...kind of redundant, I know; or call yourself poppy for short. ;)

Being christened a poop whisperer is not that bad...:)
