Acronym X2 Premiere Contest Winner

My first day on the floor as a LVN I mistakenly agreed to PRN When I arrived, was sent straight to PICU Finished out day one up in the NICU Day two I had an uncaring RNC She didn’t want to give patient’s TLC I was asked to go upstairs ASAP The elevator was out so I arrived SOB Immediately I was sent to see a PT and told not to return without his BP He told me to call the DME or check over in L&D “Oh, how did I confuse patient (pt)? With physical therapist (PT) The charge nurse asked, “Are you a brand new LVN?” “Where did you work before? IBM?” My next patient was none other than the POTUS accompanied by his beautiful FLOTUS He’d heard the story of the BP and laughed so hard he almost was OOB Don’t worry he joked we are all in GC Blood Pressure and Bed Pan share the acronym BP 03/14/2021 Written for Acronyms In Couplets Poetry Contest Sponsored by L. Milton Hankins

Congratulations Evelyn on your win in Milton's competition. I'm laughing as it sounds like a typical day I'd spend as an RMN on the BIU in Liverpool :) Congratulations to Milton too, for the idea of the contest. I've enjoyed reading the entries.

Hi Evelyn! I was a Registered Mental Health Nurse (took early retirement) and worked at The Brain Injury Unit in Liverpool helping rehabilitate people with cognitive, emotional and behavioural issues following their injury. :)

Gary, Please forgive me for having to ask, are you a Register Mental Health Nurse(RMN)? What is the BIU(Behavioral Intensive Care)? We could write a poem about this conversation and the acronyms. Lol Thanks for reading my poem and the comments. Evelyn

Thank you so much. I had a hard time finding acronyms for nursing and I have been a nurse for over 20 years. I guess we just never considered them acronyms lol
