This is for all my night nurses and anyone else who wants a good laugh

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

AND UP ON OB

A NURSE YELLED "THICK MEC,

I NEED A DELEE"

IV'S WITH PITOCIN

WERE ALL HUNG WITH CARE

IN HOPES THEY'LL DELIVER

AND STOP PULLING THEIR HAIR

THE WOMEN WERE SCREAMING

IN THEIR BIRTHING BEDS

WHILE VISIONS OF EPIDURALS

DANCED IN THEIR HEADS

THE STAFFING IS SHORT

WITH NO ONE ON CALL

EVERY WARMER IS DIRTY

AND SITS IN THE HALL

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT

THERE'S AN END TO THIS HELL

THE PATIENT IN TRIAGE

HAS A MAJOR DECEL

SO WE RUSH WITH A GURNEY

AND RACE TO THE BACK

THE O.R. IS DIRTY

NOT ONE SECTION PACK

I DROPPED TO MY KNEES

AND I STARTED TO CRY

WHEN I HEARD THE BELLS JINGLE

AND LOOKED TOWARD THE SKY

THERE WAS ST. NICK

ON HIS SLEIGH IN THE REAR

HE HAD 12 SMILING NURSES

THE DAY SHIFT IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
