i'm probably a little slow today but i don't get it. what was a "mrs." doing as a patient on a pediatric unit?

I believe this is two seperate jokes.

Joke #1. Nurse gave a sleeping pill to a sleeping patient

Joke #2. Nurse called 911 from the pediatrics floor

At one facility the Code Line was something like 4911. It was the number you dialed to get the operator to page out the code.

actually have been instructed by med staff after hrs to call 000 (our 911) for codes due to lack of o/night cover.:o

joke#1 a nurse enters a patient room w/o knocking. the room is softly illuminated by the bathroom's light. the nurse approaches the bed carefully trying not to disturb the sleeping patient. once by the bedside calls her name......"mrs.___, time for you sleeping pill"

joke#2 "911 what is your emergency?"

-"can you send an ambulance to ___ hospital, pediatric's unit, ___floor, we have a code blue"

a pediatric nurse really dialed 911, our code inside the hospital starts w/a diff #. after administration found out, it was not funny at all, but we use what happened to that nurse once in awhile as an inside joke!

i hope that you guys liked it!
