Songs that you can relate to nursing.

[tattooednursie]

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 . . .

ITS BEEN A LONG DAYS NIGHT !!! by the Beetles

under pressure - queen featuring david bowie

I love this song ,and although it may not totally be applicable to nursing, there are some nights that I sing it :)

Pressure pushing down on me

Pressing down on you no man ask for

Under pressure - that burns a building down

Splits a family in two

Puts people on street

It's the terror of knowing

What this world is about

Watching some good friends

Screaming let me out

Pray tomorrow - gets me higher

Pressure on people - people on streets

Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor

These are the days it never rains but it pours

People on streets - people on streets

It's the terror of knowing

What this world is about

Watching some good friends

Screaming let me out

Pray tomorrow - gets me higher

Pressure on people - people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man

Sat on a fence but it don't work

Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn

Why - why - why

Love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance

Why can't we give love

Cos love's such an old fashioned word

And love dares you to care for

The people on the edge of the night

And love dares you to change our way of

Caring about ourselves

This is our last dance

This is our last dance

This is ourselves

Under pressure

Under pressure

Pressure

I also agree with the "I wanna be sedated" suggestion :)

my feelgood song at work ,you know the song you sing to yourself that just makes you smile

is Mr Jones - the counting crows

seriously ,if I hear it , or sing along with it , I just feel better...

its not my only feel good song ,but its a good one :

I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl

Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer

She dances while his father plays guitar

She's suddenly beautiful

We all want something beautiful

I wish I was beautiful

So come dance this silence down through the morning

Cut up, Maria!

Show me some of them Spanish dances

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones

Believe in me

Help me believe in anything

Cause I want to be someone who believes

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales

Stare at the beautiful women

'She's looking at you. Ah no, no, she's looking at me.'

Smiling in the bright lights

Coming through in stereo

When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

I will paint my picture

Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful

Gray is my favorite color

I felt so symbolic, yesterday

If I knew Picasso

I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Mr. Jones and me look into the future

Stare at the beautiful women

'She's looking at you. Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me.'

Standing in the spotlight

I bought myself a gray guitar

When everybody loves me I will never be lonely

I will never be lonely

Said I never gonna be..lonely

I wanna to be a lion

Everybody wants to pass as cats

We all want to be big, big stars, but we got different reasons for that

Believe in me, because I don't believe in anything

And I want to be someone to believe, to believe

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio

Yeah we stare at the beautiful women

'She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me.'

I want to be Bob Dylan

Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky

When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be

Mr. Jones and me staring at the video

When I look at the television I want to see me staring right back at me

We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know how

But when everybody loves me

I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be

Mr. Jones and me: we're gonna be big stars...

Jimmy Buffett's "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" for my personal favorite line that sums up just about everyone in healthcare- "If we weren't all crazy, we would go insane."

I can never resist singing (in my head at least) "Fins" when rolling a patient.

:kiss

Are you lonesome tonight

Do you turn on your light

Every time that I walk out your door?

Do you get out of bed and fall on your head,

because you thought you were at home?

Is that phlem on your pillow, on your pad did you pee

Did you c**p on your matress and then call for me?

Does my back ache with pain as I turn you again?

Oh my dear are you lonley tonight?

[Flynurse]

Oh....this is a bad one....

"Doctor, Doctor, give me the news. I got a bad case of love for you...."
