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?

[DaretoDreamRN]

Somebody save me I don't care how you do it

Come on , I've been waiting for you by Remy Zero

Patient says to Nurse...

and I tell anyone willing to listen ..Pls save me...I dont care how you do..............................lol

O.A.R. - Night Shift

"Its 3 a.m., I wanna go to bed

I got a lady running through my head

Ran outta money, i'm lookin for a night shift

It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed"

The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony

"Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Trying to make ends meet

Trying to find some money then you die"

Live- Lightning Crashes

"The angel opens her eyes

The confusion sets in

Before the doctor can even close the door"

And finally, I worked as a CNA in a home for handicapped kids, and there was one child who would only smile if his Veggie Tales cd was playing on repeat. The most EVIL song on there (because it was always stuck in my head for days) went like this:

"I am a C

I am a C-H

I am a C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N

And I have C-H-R-I-S-T in my H-E-A-R-T

And I will L-I-V-E E-T-E-R-N-A-L-L-Y"

(Repeat faster and faster until the staff is jamming sharp objects into their ears)

For monday morning.... "it's just another maniac monday", by cyndi lauper.

cyndi lauper? wasn't that the Bangles? My memories of the 80's are a little fuzzy as I always had my nose in a nursing book studying or I was I was working.

Well...I'm still a nursing student, but I have a summer CNA job in a nursing home. I usually listen to the country station on my trips to and from work, and for some reason, the line in the Kenny Chesney song "Shiftwork" that refers to a customer as being a "round-the-clock-pain" never fails to remind me of a couple of residents

Not that there aren't some nice residents, too, but you know what I mean...

[innergybeauty]

I remember a song that I sang to my patient. It was a busy shift. I was up for a labor but not really wanted to have one because I was already tired from previous births that day. It was out of the blue I sang infront of the patient " I've been waiting for a girl like you to walk into my life"... every one in the birth room was laughing so hard as well as the patient.

The song by Blue October "Falling in the Ocean" reminds me of feeling overwhelmed.

"In over my head" by the Fray.

[Spritenurse1210, BSN, RN]

Its been a hard days night and i have been working like a dog. Its been a hard days night i should be sleeping like a log. Or welcome to the jungle

I'm 3/4s way done with my first year of nursing school and the first time i heard this song i immediately put it with nursing...

Hurry up and wait

So close, but so far away

Everything that you've always dreamed of

Close enough for you to taste

But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen and we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

You believe and you doubt

You're confused, you got it all figured out

Everything that you always wished for

Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours

If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]

When you can't wait any longer

But there's no end in sight

when you need to find the strength

It's your faith that makes you stronger

The only way you get there

Is one step at a time
