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.

Hold Your IV
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.

Urine Dread
Please, oh please don’t wet the bed
It’s such a pain, one all nurses dread
Use the bedpan or a urinal
Simply peeing the bed is just criminal

Don’t Touch that IV!
Oh fine patient what a pleasure it was
To wrap your IV with three rolls of gauze.
Don’t pull it or touch it or even looks its way
That IV you have needs to stay!

No Time to Micturate
Holy cow you need to wait,
I don’t have time for you to micturate.
So cross your legs or jump up and down,
Just please wait a second I’ll be around

Telemetry Punch
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

Take your Aspirin!
Strokes are no jokes, not even funny
They can crush a spirit or cost lots of money,
So please dear sir, take your aspirin
It will go better for you and keep you long lastin’

C Diff Entering a Room
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.

Ask for Lovenox
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?’

Too Much Stool
Old people are fun to learn from and I love their laughter
However, they aren’t always fun to clean up after
With a toot and plop the bed is messy too much for a mop
It’s like a river. It never, stops.
