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?

I didn't read all these to see if mine's already posted but I often find myself humming "no time left for you, no time left for you, no time, no time... got got got got no time...." as I leave in the mornings heading home!
Well, and in honor of a few special cardiac frequent fliers I often hum a few chords of "cocaine" by clapton.
or another favorite for those special odors Leonard Skynards "smell that smell."
Well and on a few unorthodox occassions we've hummed nearer my God to thee when making the point a patient is going into the light.
Hey, the humor gets you through some nights when nothing else will!
