I am so frustrated that you are unhappy
Your family member could die and all you care about are things stupid and crappie.
I talk to doctors, push IV meds, take their vitals umpteen times
And all you do is point out the dirt on the floor as if it were a crime
Well I am so sad to report that while saving their life
My skills as a housekeeper were slightly under strife

Dear patient family,
It’s one thing to ask for ice
But seriously asking for that much is just not nice.
I am nurse not a butler please take your request elsewhere,
Oh wait, I forgot, all our pay is based on satisfaction in healthcare.
With slightly jaded love,
Your extremely-busy-saving-your-family-member-from-near-death-and-you-are-unhappy-with-the-room-temperature Nurse

Dear Doctor I know you’re smart,
But please order SCD’s and do your part.
They stop blood pooling and forming clots
And keep our patients out of cemetery plots.

That IV you say, no way to keep it?
I will make sure that you do I commit.
That Doc ordered it, it has to stay
I feel unfortunately that your opinion will not sway.
So I wrap and wrap and wrap away,
That Kerlex will unlikely hold you at bay.

Discharge is not ready,
Yes I know the Doc said you are free already!
However, I have paperwork to do for you
So please hold up and I will soon be through

Security please come this patients gone crazy
I swear its not me being angry or lazy.
They’re kicking and throwing and all out of sorts
The way they are looking, I might mess my shorts.

Telemetry,
How I would like to punch thee
Your beep and you boop,
It happens again and again in a loop
Today I think I’ll give you my boot

When you enter C Diff Isolation
Be sure to wear gown and gloves, it’s not a vacation.
Spreading C Diff causes diarrhea
For this, hand washing is the best idea.

When you leave C Diff Isolation
Be sure to wash with long duration.
C diff only goes away with careful scrubbing
So makes sure your soap does lots of bubbling.

Remember to ask for Lovenox,
To forget it is to invite clots
So don’t delay and say:
‘Please Doc can you stop a clot this day?’
