Song lyrics that remind you of nursing...

Nurses Humor

Published

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?

Specializes in Med Surg - yes, it's a specialty.

I didn't read all these to see if mine's already posted but I often find myself humming "no time left for you, no time left for you, no time, no time... got got got got no time...." as I leave in the mornings heading home!

Well, and in honor of a few special cardiac frequent fliers I often hum a few chords of "cocaine" by clapton.

or another favorite for those special odors Leonard Skynards "smell that smell."

Well and on a few unorthodox occassions we've hummed nearer my God to thee when making the point a patient is going into the light.

Hey, the humor gets you through some nights when nothing else will!
