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?

the whole my chemical romance album the black parade is all pretty nursie. everyne thinks i'm weird because i love it so much, but then i make them listen and tell them it's nursing songs.

nellie the elephant. (keeps perfect time for chest compressions, 2 rounds of it is 30 compessions)

when we were doing resus training on the very scary medi-sim doll, we sing the causulaty theme song.

when i'm woring on the wards, taking patients somewhere on the bed or a chair, i sing 'the wheels on the (bed/chair) go round and round, round and round. the verses progress with how the patient reacts, they normally find it amusing.

also while working wards i sing to myself, favourite at the moment is wayward son, by kansas, for some reason it always makes me think of nursing.

hold on- 33 miles

don't be afraid

you'll make it through

just call out to me and i'll come running to you

[chorus]

and hold on

hold on when the current pulls you under

and your heart beats like thunder

just give me your hand and hold on

hold on until the storm is over

and i'll be fighting for you

just give me your hand and hold on

i'll give you hope, i'll give you faith

and if it's dark i'll light the way for you

for you

by your side until the end

until you're standing tall again

i'm here

i'll always be here

and not forgetting, smoking in the boys room, covered by motley crue. for when you find patients hiding in the bathrooms having a crafty smoke

the other songs are fantastic.

not really a nursing song, a friend was playing a song, and i asked what it was called, and he replies s.o.b. i thought for a while why someone would be singing about shortness of breath, before realising it was the other meaning lol

When I do something silly, I often find myself singing...

"If I only had a brain!"

[Student-Nurse-Mouse]

Just though of a few more.

One of us is gonna die young-the ark

The worrying kind-the ark.

(I'm liking The ark today can you tell?)

Rolling Stones » You Can't Always Get What You Want

[OutlawNurse86, BSN, RN]

Everywhere I go I always see a former patient or a co-worker.

"I keep seeing you in Houston...and down at Matagorda Bay.

Up on 6th Street in Austin... at the rodeo in Santa Fe.

Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville, if your memory is here to stay..."

Smooth criminal: the mom's S.O. had stolen the orange top he was wearing from our local county jail! Talk about dress to impress.

Please Release Me : I actually spoofed this for restraint education a few years ago.

"Life is Killing Me" By Type O Negative

[AusRN]

In the Arms of an Angel is one I listen to when a fav pt passes, by Sarah McLachlan.

Just listening to Cher and the chorus reminds me too..

"Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me sayin, I really don't think you're strong enough..."

Chris Issak too. Somebody's Crying....

"I know somebody and they cry for you...... "

I guess sad songs are the main ones that remind me of nursing.

HRSA by Blue October

Comitted at twenty two

Just to get over you

My belly aches blue

Lorazepam flu

I'm down for the count

Always three times a day

Sometimes four

A bee stings right through the arm

The high swing I ride upon

My eyes can't quite focus on

The nurse with my Lucky Charms

Well a two step was just a laugh

Our boundaries were broke in half

It's a good thing to know

As you walk into group for the show

knock-knock on the window pane

My smoke break, the hour rang

My quiet roommate sleeps the same

Woke up when dinner came

The man's no more than forty old

Arrived scared two days ago

A family of earth and gold

But still nottheless alone

I learned quick. Knew what to say

Then three angels walked my way

In Spanish tongue they knelt to pray

And said "God keep him safe

From screaming voices"

They became my family

Outstretched their hands are on my head

You know, I can feel them breathing

They actually knelt down and prayed for me

They actually knelt down and prayed for me

Don't you dare put me on H.R.S.A

Does self abuse extend your hospital stay?

I think I'll lie a bit

Lord I won't cry over anything

Over anything at all

I won't cry over anything at all

Staying Alive by the Bee Gees because my critical care instructor said the beat to the song should be the same beat when we give chest compressions during CPR! Everytime I hear of someone having to do chest compressions, I start humming that song lol!
