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?

How about "Ramble On" by Led Zeppelin. That could be about patients OR annoying staff members.

I am extremely frustrated with my job at this moment so the only song I can come up with is "Take this Job and Shove It."

[Elvish, BSN, DNP, RN, NP]

Some country song & I can't even remember who sings it...

if you're going through hell keep on moving

face that fire, walk right through it

you might get out

'fore the devil even knows you're there.

...course that kind of applies to life in general at this point!!

My all-time favorite?!? "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns 'N Roses... I SWEAR it's ALL ABOUT the ER... did you ever listen to the lyrics? ".. we got fun and games.. we got everything you want, and we know the name, we are the people that can find whatever you may need... if you got the money, honey we got your disease..." etc... It is SOOO ER...

"wake me up inside...save me from myself" Evanescence

[Elvish, BSN, DNP, RN, NP]

Somebody else mentioned that song by The Animals "We gotta get out of this place, if it's the last thing we ever do...."

Some nights I feel like that about the nursery when we are up to our eyeballs in new admits & babes awaiting transfer to NICU.

[i]"has no one told you she's not breathing"

"don't try to fix me i'm not broken"

"suddenly i know i'm not sleeping, hello, i am still here, all that's left of yesterday"[/i]excerpts from "hello" by evanescence

"the heart can freeze, or it can burn

the pain will ease, if i can learn

there is no future, there is no past

i live this moment as my last"

"another day" from the soundtrack for 'rent'

[Indy, LPN, LVN]

so many... some of which have been mentioned before...

"crazy train" is a must, as is "I wanna be sedated"

"easy tonight" by five for fighting... "she's in over my head... two dimes in the telephone... etc" that always reminds me of my dying chf'ers who are in the drowning stage.

"return to innocence" by enigma is the song I have burned into my memory along with my first dying patient. It fit her very well and now the nice song just makes me cry.

One of my favorites for the poster who was asking for country songs: "it ain't me" by johnny cash: "go lightly on the ledge babe, go lightly on the ground, I'm not the one you want babe..." cracks me up!

More country... "folsom prison blues" seriously reminds me of work, as it's either a train that ran over me, or a train wreck, or someone dying, etc.

Oh, and by the way, it's not always nice to leave the tv on in empty rooms. I walked in one the other day and promptly got the "astelin" song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Whomever wrote that should be strung up and forced to listen to it on a loop.
