Song lyrics that remind you of nursing...

"somebody saaaaaavvvee meeee, i don't care how u do it"
just saaaaaveee me'' ,,,lyrics from the song - SAVE me by Remy Zero
this is what i think our patients shout within when nobody cares about them except us (nurses)

: "how to save a life" by The Fray

Okay, more heavy than funny, but My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade"

"Son when
You grow up,
Would you be
The saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"

Sounds like nursing to me!

OldPhatMC sends...

How about take this job and shove it!!!

"Boogie Fever" Don't remember who sang it.
I have no idea why, but every single freaking time I am at work, at some point I get the song "yellow submarine" stuck in my head.

I totally agree with you on this one...Also MCR's "Cancer". Its very sad but reminds me of the some of the pts that I took care of at the VA

how about...."Stayin' alive...stayin' alive" by the BeeGees???

Forgeiner- " I'm Hot blooded, check it and see, got a fever of 103"

I am the unit DJ. I choose all the music that we listen to at night and I have been compiling a list of nursing related songs. So far I have a few and I need more suggestions. (My iPod is 30 gigs so help me out).

Some that I already have:

This song reminds me of a neurotrauma patient. "Hello, is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me..."

For those f-ed up nights when nothing goes right and all the psych pts come in.

Hot in Here - Nelly
For that patient that loves to roam the halls with too little clothes on.

I'm here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away. For the annoying frequent flyer.
