What are the pranks you played with your co-workers and how did you handle it?

Nurses Humor

Published

We all do have good and bad days in nursing but how about your prank days? Have you done something silly at work that you will never forget and still laugh about it until now?

Here's mine:

One day, I received a call from my resident's daughter that her dad's dentures were missing. I came and scanned the room and asked the CNA's to help me look for it everywhere in the building but couldn't find it anywhere. Few hours later, my shift is about to end and I received a call from the other side of the building that if one of my resident's dentures is missing so I came over and guess what? It was his dentures. And I was like "How did you know that it was my resident's?" and they were like "Well, we all check everyone's mouth if they have their dentures and everybody has it in theirs so we thought if it is one of yalls people" and I could not stop laughing imagining them opening everybody's mouth just to make sure they are not missing a denture. That was a funny night! Anyway, I called the daughter back that her dad's denture was found in the other side of the building and she was ohhhhbooooyy, very furious about it.

As a patient I drew with eyeliner a smiley face on the skin over my left greater trochanter for the DPT about to do my last iontophoresis. She got a chuckle out of it and called me (lovingly) a dork.

I was young, probably should not have but we had an orderly that was supper spoked about taking a deceased pt to morgue, we weren't busy, I got on gurney, toe tag and all covered with sheet orderly was called to cvicu to escort deceased to morgue, As we were in hall, I was trying to suppress my breathing.....all of sudden I set up.....the poor guy hollers Awe Jessus! And jumps in air several times, ran around our unit three times, and we didn't see him the rest of the night.......
