Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates

NurseB33 is having a really busy shift at the hospital. In addition to helping a colleague run a code blue on a post-operative patient (don't worry, he is in stable condition now), she discharged four patients in the morning which means she has four new admissions in the afternoon. Unfortunately, a very confused patient wandered over to the Unit Clerk's desk and completely rearranged the patient charts. Can you help NurseB33 figure out this mess so she doesn't have to stay late and miss another family dinner? She needs to know each patient's first name, last name, what time they were admitted to the unit, and what they are diagnosed with. Use the chart provided to help organize your data. Good luck and thanks!!


1. NurseB33's first admission of the afternoon is Mrs. Smith, who fractured her hip when she fell down the stairs.

2. Susan was admitted earlier than Norma. Susan's surname isn't Young.

3. The patient who was admitted one and a half hours before Betty has a post-operative infection (she thought it was a good idea to go swimming in Mexico one week after having bunion surgery)!!

4. Wilma was admitted one and a half hours earlier than Ms. Anderson (who isn't Betty and isn't having knee surgery).
