Poetry: Nursing Haiku

I've posted a couple of these before, but I now present a few new ones for your enjoyment. :)

Loads of paperwork,

I tried to get out on time,

But didn't make it.

Doctor wants to know

"Did my patient eat his lunch?"

I point to my shoes.

Call bells ring all day,

So persistently that I can

hear them in my sleep.

Confused patient says,

"Would you like some chocolate?"

I call a code brown.

Post-op patient asked

me to help put on his shoes.

Then puked on my head.

Nurses are heroes,

no matter what others say.

We know NURSES ROCK!

Nursing is a life

Where you must care for patients

And care for yourself.
