I just read an Aussie poem. It goes:
You're the Gold to my Coast, the Vegemite to my toast
The sea to the sand, the beer in my hand
The thong to my foot, the Rhonda to my Ketut
The kanga to my roo, the barbie to my q
The Wi to my Fi, the sauce on my pie
The harbour to my bridge, the lamingtons in my fridge
The heat to my rash, the grog to my stash
The Holden to my Ute …
And it got me thinking... The people on AN are some of the wittiest I've ever encountered. Perhaps we can make our own Nurses poem this way!
Shall I start?
You're the black pen to my chart
The stethoscope on my heart ... who wants to continue?
Thank you EVERYONE for your contributions!! I love every one of them and you've all put in a **** load of thought into your dittys!
I'm gonna compile them into a few poems because one enormous poem might cause a reader to have a haemorrhage and they aren't in good hands here if that happens (hell, we're too busy writing poems damnit).
I got such a buzz (non-pharmaceutical this time. Sorry, been watching Nurse Jackie) from all your posts. Top job folks!

You're the Dakin's in my infected sore, the oxy when I cry "No more!"
You're the clouds over my grass, the smoke over my fire, the NG tube that won't come off its wire.
"Get it wet before you put it in." Nurse's banter on Keos for the win!
