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?

[Sabby_NC]

How about the Beatles..

For the nighters... A hard day's night.. I been working like a dog!! LOL

For the hospice workers... I want to hold your hand!

Any nurse... HELP!!! I need somebody.. LOL

Finally Hello, Goodbye LOL :lol2::lol2:

[rainfallrx]

"Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, released sometime during the Summer of 1980.

I remember it well, for I was doing my psych clinicals in the Adolecent Unit of a private psychiactric hospital at the time, and that song is ALL those kids ever played.

I never got so SICK of a song, in my life!! :lol_hitti

Ha Ha Ha. I Used to love when that song came on the radio at work!

[rainfallrx]

:monkeydance: I am the unit DJ. I choose all the music that we listen to at night and I have been compiling a list of nursing related songs. So far I have a few and I need more suggestions. (My iPod is 30 gigs so help me out).

Some that I already have:

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

This song reminds me of a neurotrauma patient. "Hello, is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me..."

"Daylight come and we wanna go home."

One - Metallica

Bring Me to Life - Evanescence

"Wake me up inside... save me from the nothing I've become"

Only for the night shift

Dr. Feelgood - Montley Crue

For those f-ed up nights when nothing goes right and all the psych pts come in.

Head Like a Hole - Nine Inch Nails

What a song for nurses... "head like a hole, black as your soul, I'd rather die than give you control." That pretty much sums up ICU nurses.

Hot in Here - Nelly

For that patient that loves to roam the halls with too little clothes on.

Since You Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson

My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) - En Vogue

You Outta Know - Alanis Morrissette

I'm here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away. For the annoying frequent flyer.

[nitenurse02]

At our hospital we have a physical medicine rehabilitation unit and every so often a med/surg nurse gets floated over there.

"I don't wanna go to rehab!" I don't know who sings it but it has become an anthem for some.

[NOTEWORTHY]

"Blinded by the light..." don't remember what group sings it. (night shift nurse)

[mom and nurse]

There was a gentleman still living in the 60s who used to play old songs on his CD player and one he had was by Jefferson Airplane.

White Rabbit

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you

Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice

When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits

And you know you're going to fall

Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar

Has given you the call

Recall Alice

When she was just small

When men on the chessboard

Get up and tell you where to go

And you've just had some kind of mushroom

And your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice

I think she'll know

When logic and proportion

Have fallen sloppy dead

And the White Knight is talking backwards

And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

Remember what the dormouse said:

"FEED YOUR HEAD

(For some reason that last line especially reminds me of how I'd feel after I had not eaten for 8 hours and had run room to room with IVs beeping and meds to give to my 6 or 7 patients especially since some had brain injuries... loved working with the patients... hated not always having the time I wanted just to eat..)

[AmandaBrittainy]

Its just one of those days, feelin like a freight train

first one to complain - leavin with a blood stain.

its all about the he said she said - "BS" i think you better quit lettin it slip or youll be leavin with a fat lip. - Limp Bizkit

For "one of those days"

[lil' girl, LPN]

Did anyone say " You dropped a bomb on me"?
