Bonnie Jennings Poet Dramatic Monologue

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
