hey everyone,

My nursing school just got a new manikin and we get to come up with names for the faculty to choose. I have only come with one name and it's kind of corny! Adrena line- like adrenaline because that is really what gets me through every thing we do!

any creative ideas?

yeah I have never heard of anywhere naming their manikins until I started here!

All of ours are famous names...Michael Jackson, Victoria Beckham, Brad Pitt, and only the most revered manikins are all members of the BeeGees. All med orders written for practice and such are also famous names. M&M and Smartie pills to fill med orders. Good times :)

Last cadaver we had was dubbed "Bob". There was a story behind it, but I don't remember it now?
