We’ve seen our share of hospital chart bloopers in the past, and fortunately (for those of us who need a laugh!) it doesn’t look like there’s any end in sight.
We took to our Funny Nurses Facebook page to find out what crazy chart shenanigans you’ve seen, and we got a slew of great stories.
Some are funny, some are confusing and some are just plain strange. Here are some of the best, though it was pretty tough to narrow the list down to just 11–we recommend perusing the entire list when you need a good prolonged laugh.
