Song lyrics that remind you of nursing...

[grace90]

Every so often I'll hear lyrics on songs on the radio that remind me of nursing... Here's a couple of examples I've heard on the radio recently, unfortunately I can't remember who sings either of 'em...:monkeydance:

"I am barely breathing, and I can't find the air..."

"I have become, comfortably numb..."

Anyone got any more?

[NurseRotten]

Stone Temple Pilots' Creep

"Take time with a wounded hand cause it likes to heal... I'm half the man I used to be."

[jolleygirl]

"Welcome to my nightmare", by Alice Cooper

[janetjanetbobanet]

Doctor, is there nothing I can take, to relieve this bellyache?

Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up, put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.........

Linkin Park, Crawling- "Crawling in my skin" - maggotty wounds

same song- "Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take"- how every nurse feels at some point

[NurseRotten]

Night Fever by the BeeGees.

Or another one that reminds me of Viagra

Jump, by VanHalen

"I get up... and nothing gets me down."

Poison by Alice Cooper, reminding me of the ETOHers that come in and their alcoholism is killing them

The Romantics- "I hear the secrets that you keep, when you're talking in your sleep"

U2-Kite- "Something is about to give, I can feel it coming, I think I know what it is, I'm not afraid to die, I'm not afraid to live, and when I'm flat on my back, I hope to feel like I did" - reminds me of comfort care patients who have accepted their terminal illness, and their family has, too

[Diary/Dairy, RN]

Pink - Making me Ill - cannot remember the exact lyric, but talks about life support and morphine making the singer sick, and the nurses being bit$$es. I do like it!!!

Disease by Matchbox 20.

[Sun*shine]

think its called 'Higher Love', by Steve Winwood. When he sings 'bring me a higher love' my Mum says it sounds like 'bring me an iron lung!!'

also the balck parade by my chemical romance, all based on the journey of a patient. Of course its a wee bit dark!! I love that band but I was always wondering why they kept going on about hospital beds, pills and ambulances...swore it was just the nursing course getting to me!!

:)

Some country song & I can't even remember who sings it...

if you're going through hell keep on moving

face that fire, walk right through it

you might get out

'fore the devil even knows you're there.

...course that kind of applies to life in general at this point!!

Rodney Atkins sings that song.

A couple of songs that come to mind are: Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi ...when you find your medicine you take what you can get cause if theres something better baby well they havent found it yet.

Then theres the song by Rascall Flatts called Sarah Beth. (I work on an oncology floor and it reminds me of how scared the patients are right after learning they have cancer.)

[Elvish, BSN, DNP, RN, NP]

OMG, I cry every time I hear the song about Sarah Beth. Sweet song.

One more night... just one more night... when I'm on a long stretch of work nights
