Acronym X2
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
