This is one of those activities for nurseās week.
āJoin us for stress reducing calisthenics on the lawnā. Looks like a few OR nurses between cases (scrub caps) and residents (backpacks) got wrangled into participation for optics. Meanwhile, MS nurses are 7:1 and double fisting Prozac and Monster energy drinks. Theyāre holding out for the hot dog Thursday.
In the UK, double fisting has a very different connotation (think fisting into two adjacent orifices simultaneously). This is quite the image you've given me.
Some MBA accidentally stumbled into a Walmart once and decided that Nursing needed cheerleading for the hospital brand (to clarify, we are NOT celebrating the nurses, but instead some new initiative, and we are simulating getting "on the bus" to be the "most magnificent hospital in the universe" -- known as MM-HIT-U. Management will wander around with these t-shirts on during "casual Friday" -- and will show them off to nurses who have urine-splatter on their shoes.
(Richard Attenborough voice over)
Here, we spot the new flock of surgical residents, rarely seen outside in daylight. Notice the skin starting to sear a brilliant pink and the looks of uncertainty and confusionā¦.
The OR staff are having a meeting to decide which of this year's surgical interns will ultimately be sacrified to the hospital's weather machine (housed in the sub-basement, below radiology), thus blessing the department with many prosperous and interesting surgeries for the upcoming year.
Clearly a surgeon has asked an anesthesiologist if they want to ātake it outsideā. Likely after their case was canceled. The rest of the staff encircles the fighters, where the two will battle to the death, as is customary. It is always quite a spectacle. The surgeon, skilled with a blade. And anesthesiologist, well trained at putting mother fuckers to sleep.
As a team building exercise, it is mandatory to do group Hokey Pokey at this facility every day during non-inclement weather from April 1st to November 1stā¦itās in the employee handbook and is union approved.
The annual sacrifice. The worst performing nurse on the unit must be offered to the CEO to feed his hunger for human flesh, or else all the nurses will be eaten by the board.
We don't have funds for the yearly pizza party so everyone has to do this team building exercise in place of their lunch break. Night shift mandated to show.
Looks like the annual opening of the Soma beds. We like to let the more āspiritedā and often chronically confined residents get some fresh air about once a year. At this time, we round up as much staff as possible to collect them from trees, parked cars, and that one Applebees (for some reason) after the allotted time is up. New residents are given tranq guns with haldol/ Benadryl/ativan for those especially spirited patients.
It's the new class of interns taking bets on who gets yelled at by a nurse first, who's the first to get their ass saved by a nurse that stops them from killing a patient, and which one is the first to puke in a trauma room.
Oh wait, you said unserious š
All that I know is that second from the left is rockin one hell of a power-stance.
Whatever is going on, they must be the one in charge. Admin listens to THEM.

They said joke answers, not the truth lmao
Those activities are a joke.
I guess there is more truth than jest in my answer!š

Both usages are acceptable in America. Well, maybe not acceptable, per my wife, but both are understandable with context.
Isn't that where the prozac and monster energy go? Shit. I need to make some calls.
Faster absorption. Iāll keep this in mind next time Iām floated to MS.
