Got any funny acronyms at your ER???

[RNin92]

Ok...

So I am a part of a committee putting together a "seminar" targeting New Grads, Recent Grads and students.

We are tentatively calling it "REAL Life in the ER".

We are planning it from a humorous perspective.

I have the task of ED "Definitions"

You know...

"DDK"=Dead Doesn't Know it

"Code Brown"=No explanation needed...I hope!

Got it??!!??

So if anyone has some funny ones...please post them so I can include them in my "lecture"

Thanks!

:rotfl:

Also, any funny "Nurse Calls"

Hp-hispanic Panic

Mmis-my Momma Is Stupid

[getoverit, BSN, RN, EMT-P]

IFS- idiot family syndrome. as in "they would be much better off if they didn't suffer from chronic IFS"

INS- interference with natural selection. This person has untowardly altered the gene pool by surviving this long. 10,000 years ago, the other cavemen would have thrown him over a cliff.

if anyone ever watched Seinfeld, there was an episode where Jerry and Kramer were in a sauna. Kramer kept saying "it's like a sauna in here" and Jerry said, frustrated, "NO, it IS a sauna". this went on mindlessly for several minutes....whenever we're confronted by an incredibly mindless situation, me and one of the other guys I work with always say "dude...it's like a sauna in here....no doubt". the source of the mindlessness usually says "I'm not hot...are you hot???....i don't think it's hot in here...."etc..etc..etc. Ultimate location joke--cause you have to be there.
