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?

I haven't read through all of these yet, so not sure if it's on here...but I have been known to break into "Can I Get a Witness?" on the way to the pyxis. And to start vocalizing the "Mission Impossible" theme during codes...

You guys and gals are cracking me up with these.

I also have been the victim of "Yellow Submarine" and VeggieTales thanks to my kids...there's only so many times a coworker can hear the Stuff Mart rap before they are threatening to make you an ICU patient!

I am Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. I use it to relax, no booze or drugs needed with this song.

Mission Impossible during codes...that's a riot!

There's one I sing all the time by Rufus Wainwright:

My phone's on vibrate for you

God knows what all these new drugs do

I guess to have no more fears

But still I always end up in tears

So call me

Call me in the morning

Call me in the night

So call me

Call me anytime you like

My phone's on vibrate for you

For you

The first two lines especially are so pertinent as a hospice nurse.

"Witness" by Tori Amos

"Thought I had a witness, c'mon c'mon c'mon"

Especially when I'm giving blood and nobody has time to witness it with me, lol.

Pain - 3 days Grace

Bleed it out - Linkin Park

Megalomaniac - Incubus

Scars - Papa Roach " I can't help you fix yourself, but at least I can say I tried. I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut, my weakness is that I care too much.The scars remind us that the past is real, I tear my heart open just to feel."

Breath - Breaking Benjamin " You take the breath right outta me, you left a hole where my heart should be. You gotta fight just to make it through. "

Danity Kane-Damaged.

Do, Do you got a first aid kit handy?

Do, Do you know how to patch up a wound?

Tell me,

are you patient,

understanding?

Cause I might need some time to clear the hole in my heart and I

I've tried every remedy

And nothing seems to work for me

Baby, (baby)

this situation is driving me crazy

And I really wanna be your lady

But the one before you left me so

[Chorus:]

Damaged, damaged

Damaged, damaged

I thought that I should let you know

That my heart is

Damaged, damaged

So Damaged

And you can blame the one before

So how you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it

How you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it

(Baby I gotta know what you are gonna do?)

How you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it

(Baby I gotta know what you are gonna do?)

How you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it

(Baby I gotta know what you are gonna do?)

Do Do you got a first aid kit handy?

Do Do you know how to patch up a wound?

Tell me,

are you patient,

understanding?

Cause I might need some time to clear the hole in my heart and I

You try to gain my trust

Talking is not enough

Actions speak louder than words

You gotta show me something

My heart is missing some pieces

I need this puzzle put together again

[Chorus]

Can you fix my h-e-a-r-t

Cause it d-a-m-a-g-e-d

Can you fix my h-e-a-r-t

Tell me are you up for the challenge

Cause my heart is

Damaged,

Damaged

I thought that I should let you know

That my heart is

Damaged

So Damaged

And you can blame the one before

Damaged,

Damaged

I thought that I should let you know

That my heart is

Damaged

So Damaged

And you can blame the one before

So how you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it

How you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it

How you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it

How you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it

My heart is

Damaged,

Damaged,

Damaged

My heart is

Damaged,

Damaged,

Damaged

My heart is

Damaged,

Damaged,

Damaged

My heart is

Damaged,

Damaged,

Damaged

My heart is

Damaged

Lets Get it On...

In ICU rotations, we were taking a break on the patio, and there were two pigeons doing just that...it had been a long day, so we put this song on from a girls ipod to provide them with "mood music"...everytime i see a pigoen, i sing it.

Ok so you just had to be there....

[ShelleyERgirl, LPN]

: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).

him of orders. I always joke that this is his pts singing. "Since you been gone, I can breathe for the first time."

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

Diladid... no you're never gonna get it, not this time. For the new admit that casually insists, "The only pain med that works for me is 4 mg of Dilaudid" when she comes in for left toe cellulitis.

Love this one! Reminds me of the pt who came in for the incision check s/p pacer implant and requested Dilaudid for where her IV from surgery had infiltrated. Um...let me think...No?:icon_roll

[RNgonewild]

working on the night shift

I know you're not alone on the night shift

I'll bet you're singing proud on the night shift:specs:

Get in from the mainline alright

Shoot'em up bang, bang

Keep on with the post-op, don't stop till you get em up (sometimes I make up my own words to fit the music)

working on the night moves

show me the way to go home, I'm tired and I wanna go to bed.
