So You Want To Be a Nurse

So you want to be a nurse? You study until you vomit You pass the exam with a “c.” Staying up all night preparing For clinicals, the next day Scratching your way to the top For a calling, that’s not you Envying those, with titles Drooling, to be through Perhaps, you pass boards And perhaps, you don’t Maybe a wish granted Don’t be so anxious lass Your time on the floor will happen ~ So, pause: Soon, will come to pass “Yes! Come in, we’re so happy to have you!” They lie ~ You’re just a warm body Don’t be deceived ‘Nurse Green’ You’re there to assume the absurd No one can tend, to the masses That are reaching, to you, for help You’re one person, in a nursing pool All to be, hung out to dry Continues at link below https://bonniegjennings.wordpress.com/2016/06/06/so-you-want-to-be-a-nurse/
