Theme of the day....

[TouchstoneRN]

Alright everybody...let's have some fun

In the ED I work in we try to come up with a daily theme..something humerous, apathetic...a little cynicsm helps. like: "we can't cure what you can't spell"... get the idea?

Before we went high tech, we played pictionary with the chief complaint on the white board.

[33-weeker]

We thought about getting long sleeved t-shirts with "Your tazer certified nurse" printed on the sleeves. That should get some people's attention in the ED...

Nah... just print 'Imigration' on them. You'll have a much slower day.... at least those of you down south. (sorry... I'm a Texan... gotta vent)

Yesterday must have been "Dementia Day". I have never seen so many confused people in the ED at one time.

staff nurses, tech's, clerks, PA's, attending included? ohhh... we have a lot of those... :roll

[schizo_maja]

what about wound check days? Fast Track, 3am-5am pt's coming in for wound check???

[schizo_maja]

How about Low Wattage Parents Day? (for them that aren't too bright?)

That's actually nicer than what we have... "Stupid Mom Syndrome Days"

[htrn]

We have an RT that swears there is an "I thing breathing is optional day"

[muffie, RN]

scraping the barrel " miss-matched socks day " ?????

[prowlingMA]

I thought of a few:

-What non food was consumed day

-Honest doctor I slipped and it got lodged there day

( If want people to leave you alone)- deoderant optional day

- grandma panties day

-talk like cartman from south park day

-how many curse words can fit into one sentence day(I celebrate this one daily)

What about "Vaginomegally Day"?

You know, when you have a bunch of grown men crying and whining.

Case in point: A tattoo laden 250 lb. man with multiple piercings freaking out over an IV.

Or a 35 year old man that threw up once and his mama brings him in at 2am.

..........you get the point.........:chuckle

[MomNRN, BSN, RN]

Today was "name that cough" day. It seemed that every single pt had a cough. There were dry coughs, congested coughs, fake coughs, wheezy coughs, and the nurse-I-need-you-now cough.

After about 4 coughs from different rooms in a row, we began to laugh. After that we made the game - "Name that cough!"

Yes we were bored!

[Altra, BSN, RN]

What about "Vaginomegaly Day"?

:chuckle

Too funny Leah ... going to have to remember that one!

[RunnerRN, BSN, RN]

How about "No, Grandma doesn't have a living will and we never talked about it but I want you to do everything to keep her alive even though she has cancer everywhere and doesn't know who she is anymore" day?

And I love FLK Day (Funny Looking Kid).

And don't forget "THE PATIENT DICTATES HIS CARE" day. :barf01:

The last one is also known as "The nurses and doctors go out after work and have a few beers" day
