That is hilarious! Ok, true story time: I was on a business trip once that took me through Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic on the way down to San Jose in Costa Rica. Got some bad seafood in the D.R. that landed me in the hospital in C.R. I'm laying in bed with tubes sticking out of me and this tiny little nurse comes in holding a Bible and says in broken English "is ok I pray for you?" I'm laying there thinking why does she want to pray for me? What does she know that I don't know? Am I gonna DIE?

When I call the doctor I always start with, "this is _my name_ calling about _first name_ _last name_ in room x, here with _x diagnosis_" then state the problem. Keeps the call short and sweet and avoids confusion. Also if I page them and don't here back right away, I write myself a little note to refer to in case I blank on certain details when they call back. These tricks have all been learned through experience. I made many mistakes talking to doctors when I was a new nurse. It's still not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than it used to be.

Being both an MD and an RN I can assure you that many nurses are simply commonly violating what they were taught when referring to patents by their room number or nickname. Yes, it is common. It's also disrespectful when discussing patients. You use the patient's preferred name when speaking to them, not in professional conversations with colleagues. The most common cause of errors is miscommunication.

I had a nurse named Gabriel and that's when i learned the concept that not all masculine names are for masculine people but also for pretty people like Miss Gabriel. I was like 7 years old when i was hospitalized so i didn't know better. She told me different stories and taught me how to color stuff like how to saturate the crayon and fill all the gaps and use a ruler to scrape it to have a finish clean look on your paper. She was really nice and im now 21 but i still remember her and her face. I hope she's doing okay. ❣️

That's so impersonal, and like, unnecessary. The first question on the nursing admission document is what do we call you. In years I have never had anyone say they wanted to be called by their surname. And quite often it's not exactly what their first name is either. It's pretty rude to deliberately refer to someone in a way they haven't asked for. And using surnames means you often need to assume gender and marital status. Either way I work in a receiving ward, so surnames just wouldn't cut it. We use full names and room number, and then often do a check like 'the patient who had the fall' or whatever if it wasn't totally clear from context. Very high turnover of patients.

Then there was the time was supposed to get admit to nursing home but as going down the hall to change a dressing,heard someone call my name. Went in to find pt on floor having fallen off toilet,gashed arm on TP holder. did slap bandage to stop bleeding because of course..coumadin. Got CNA to help get him up ( at time undiagnosed MG) when he says his roomie has chest pain. Roomie pale and clammy says is 3, other guy says he said was 9. Did assessment of both being told he does have nitro, gave dose, ran to call MD and report both guys but now time to do vitals again , put him on hold, revitaled, remedicated while other guys wife is upset about the slap dressing and why wasn't she called, hospital wanting to give report on other line, fussy pt yelling as I am now 20 min late giving her med....No one was happy with me. So glad done with nursing.

This problem is such an American one 😂 In Germany everyone always uses last name, nursed and doctors alike. Only in cases of severe demetia I occasionally use first names. But as a newly assistant physician I have daily meetups with my senior physician who only knows the patients by the papers, never seen them. And they like to name patients after their sick organ/leading illness. Also, the struggle to find the correct nurse or doctor for a patient is real.
