FERN

A FERN is a nickname given to a nurse who works in emergency medicine, standing for "Fucking ER Nurse". FERNs are a special breed of nurses. They are rough, ornery, and house a level of sarcasm that can only be matched by the EMT allies. Their shifts are fueled by Bangs, 18 G needles, and their last fuck to give. They have no problem telling you that they do not give a flying fuck about the skin assessment of a healthy and ambulatory 28 year old, here for Cholecystitis". They also do not care that your are unhappy with a line in the AC (because the line was placed for the contrast dye used in the PE work-up, not your maintenance fluids). FERNs are best known for their resourcefulness, capability to run a code better than most Attendings, sick and dark sense of humor, and a cutthroat stare that could burn a hole straight through you.

-"The downstairs nurse called 5 times to give report, neglected to replace a K+ of 3.4, and stated "she's ambulatory" when I asked what the patient's skin looked like. What a FERN".
-"I wouldn't fuck with her/him. They are a FERN".

Fern

Fern is a very high tempered girl but can be sweet at times. She is very sassy and has a huge attitude but will always be there for you if you need her. She is extremley pretty and knows what she wants and how to get it. Her mood changes from day to day but she is normally happy. My sister is called Fern and she is this exact description and I’m pretty sure this description fits most other Ferns on the planet.

My friend: “Hey Fern!”
Fern: “Go away!”
My friend: “Why the attitude?”
Me: “Oh, she’s a Fern.”
