Songs that you can relate to nursing.

What songs out there reminds you of anything about nursing. It could either be about the care you give or about team work.

For me it is

A little help from my friends- Because you cant get by without it.

The Change by Garth Brooks- Because we cant save the world, even if we try.

The River by Garth Brooks - Because this job is my dream.

Your a Friend of Mine by Jackson Browne- because it's better when the ones who you work with are good dependable friends. You know "You can depend on me, over and over."

Ok, now I want to know some of yours . . .

Specializes in Med-Surg Nursing.

Speaking of Nelly's song "Hot in Here"....one night at work I was assessing my patient at the beginning of my shift and it was SO WARM in the unit. I work in a 16 bed SICU which the beds are separated by curtains. So, I started singing that song, the first two lines(It's gettin hot in here so take off all your clothes). My patient was sedated(on Diprivan--LOVE THAT STUFF!) and intubated so couldn't respond. The nurse next to me was like Kelly, who are you talking to? And I was all embarrased cause I didn't know anyone heard me. It was sooooo funny....you just had to be there:)
