"The Nurse's Lament"
Oh how I love my scrubs,
But I'm tired of all these lovebugs,
Sneezing, coughing, runny nose,
I just want to disinfect all my clothes.

When the sun has gone to bed,
I put on my scrubs of red,
I roam the halls with sleepy nodes,
Giving meds and taking vitals,
Hoping to bring comfort to these individuals.

Blood and guts don't make me squirm,

Until their bodies improve.

The Adventures of Nurse Nelly
Nurse Nelly was a curious soul,
Always inquisitive, never dull.
She wanted to learn, she wanted to know,
And so she set out on a journey that would go.
From the ER to the ICU,
From the maternity ward to the flu,
Nurse Nelly traveled far and wide,
Searching for knowledge, never to hide.
She met patients and doctors alike,
Each one with their own story to spike.
She laughed with them, she cried with them,
And took the time to listen in.
Her heart was big, her hands were strong,
And every day she went along,
Helping those who needed her most,
And never once complaining or boasting.
Nurse Nelly was a special kind,
A nurse so kind, so clever of mind.
She made us laugh, she made us smile,
And she always went that extra mile.
So here's to Nurse Nelly, our superstar,
Our nurse who showed us what it's like to go far.
Her dedication and compassion did shine,
And we'll never forget Nurse Nelly, so fine.
