A Poem

This poem was submitted by an Access Nurses traveling nurse. Enjoy!

Hey Nurse!

Hey Nurse, hey nurse, can you hear my plea?
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, can you help me?
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, come here at once!
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, this isn’t what I ordered for lunch

The man down the hall is dying of cancer.
His light is on and I hurrry to answer

Hey Nurse, hey nurse, can I have some sugar for my tea?
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, could you pick up that tissue for me?
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, come turn out my light.
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, pull that curtain real tight.

The man down the hall is dying of cancer.
His light is on and I hurry to answer.

Hey Nurse, hey nurse, do you know what’s on channel 3?
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, no one’s paying enough attention to me!
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, I know Mr Big.
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, you better be nice to me - you dig?

The man down the hall is dying of cancer.
His light is on and I hurry to answer.

Hey Nurse, hey nurse, it’s too noisy in this place.
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, this medicine has a terrible taste!
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, are you busy today?
Hey Nurse, hey nurse, are you earning your pay?

The man down the hall is dying of cancer.
His light is on and I hurry to answer.

Hey Nurse, hey nurse, why are you crying?
Hey Nurse—- nurse!!!!

Humor for Nurses 

A little boy was taken to the dentist. It was discovered that he had a cavity that would have to be filled. “Now, young man,” asked the dentist, “what kind of filling would you like for that tooth?”

“Chocolate, please,” replied the youngster
