Best Head Nurse Poems

Our Felicity knows no rest and was
Often admonished by her Head Nurse.
It happened one day she was out for an errand
When a small boy was admitted to emergency.
With little thought she hurried to help,
forgetting she had no gloves on, nor a face mask.

The boy was...

Was pausing by the altar To see who came to pray.

I had a Head Nurse that was just born mean
The ugliest woman I'd ever seen
A voice like sharp ice
Never could be nice 
She made old Nurse Ratchet seem like a queen

A young girl got the first nursing job in a private hospital
And was assigned to check the ground floor patients.
Room 1, 2, 3, as she got to room 4 the door was opened
Inside the room a man was lying covered with a blanket.
But in the...

us to be at our best.  Nurses are required to be dedicated, caring, responsible and 

compassionate to others.  Nurses need tons...

When my nana first moved in,
I thought it would be terrible.
I figured that living with someone who has Alzheimer’s,
Would be hard to deal with.
And it is,
But not for the reason I thought it would be.
It’s hard seeing the mind of someone so smart,
Turn into a...

No roof no mood flat affect
Glances empty no space for sorrow
Small rucksack to collect  
No tears to borrow

A sloppy flute
A black and white photo
Of a young boy now mute 
Carpe Diem his motto

Dreamy alone and in despair
Jonny the homeless lives there
By the Post Office...

Nurse 
  
he drinks his coffee
ran out the door
to help the docters
  on the ER floor 
  
Takes care of the sick and 
  Injured that comes in
Treat their wounds 
Also gives medicine 
  
 Sees all kind of people...

Off the train I hit the streets
and start laughing. This is ridiculous,
incomprehensible. How can innumerable bipeds
have individual inner lives. Why are they doing
what they’re doing? I have no answer
New York City but to also go about my business
in this case prepare for surgery, survival.

But why...

Nurses
So you worked as a nurse,
 where the real work is done,
where you are taking them to toilets,
and showering them some,

Where the snotty little upstarts,
New sisters on the ward,
Busy popping pills, 
Wont help you, so annoyed,
If you dare to ask,
A lift with fat boy Floyd,

Class...

FIRST TIME EVER, I SAW SON’S FACE

From very moment he was born 
into world, with piercing cry came.
Don’t ask how when I heard him
knew life would never…be the same.

This verified by the head nurse,
“noise in nursery, is your son’s fault.”
he’s got all the babies crying
and...

IMMIGRANTS



Used  to play cards Friday evening in Dublin 
With immigrant Soviets who had come west to work..
Guy mopping the floor in  hotel café  used to be
A scientist in some Soviet space program.
Took my breath away.


One  woman  was the ex-head ...

When in that hospital bed, day after day
With all the intrusions that got in the way
One more therapist coming into my room
Or a doctor arrived spreading facts of gloom.

Tho the nurses were kind, they kept charging in
From morning thu night just as sleep would begin
So,...
