Okay, so I know I'm being slightly immature at the moment- but shush! This makes me giggle.
So, every year Florida Hospital College accepts a new batch of nursing students. Thus, every year we also have a batch graduating. We have this ceremony called "pinning" . It's exactly what it sounds like. Nurses pin the new nurses, it's tradition.
Well do little cards [think like you did for your high school graduation] for the speaker with the student's name, pinner's name and a few special comments. Well we ask [obviously] that the names be written out phonetically.
I kid you not, last pinning [May 09] I had three nursing students write their phone numbers after "Phonetic".
This pinning I've only seen one so far.
It makes me laugh and it also makes me very afraid.
