A Rhyme by an Unemployed Nurse

I really would like to land a job

The thought often causes me to sob

Why has no one wanted to hire me?

In my interviews I express my love for nursing with joy and glee

I know I am strong, wise, and smart

My passion for nursing comes from the heart

I think I know what it takes to be a great nurse

It has nothing to do with the color of my purse

A great nurse possesses the desire to care

Some of her patients may be the size of a bear

The nurse's duty is to educate and teach

She should listen and never preach

An amazing nurse is a leader of example

She is at her best when she does not trample

Florence N. was a nurse who knew her stuff

I learned from her there is never time to bluff

Florence also said that patients need fresh air and sunlight

I wonder how she became so bright

She died several years ago

Her spirit and wisdom will continue to flow

I am ready to work as a real nurse

If I get lucky I will buy myself a nice purse

I will fill my purse with knowledge of first-aid

Perhaps I can quit my job as a maid

Where will I land my first job as a nurse?

I really hope it does not cause me to burst

I did not choose to become a nurse for the money

Although I might be able to buy some extra honey

I chose to be a nurse because I like to work hard

The evidence shows in my back yard

When I started my pre-reqs at the age of twenty-one

I found out that nursing would be challenging, but fun

The schooling required a lot of effort, tears, and sweat

Many of nights I made a fret

I became a Licensed Practical Nurse at the age of twenty-three

The day I passed the NCLEX my heart felt warm and free

Nursing school was quite a challenging year of my life

Often times my classmates and I endured a strife

I learned how to measure blood pressure and give a shot

Even how to take care of a patient who smoked lots of pot

But most importantly of all I learned how to care

Even when a patient has dirty underwear

I hope very soon I land a job as a nurse

I would probably look nice carrying a new leather purse
