The 12 Days of Nursing

Filed under : Stress Relief

We’ve all heard the song . . . over and over and over again. Every holiday season, it’s the same. “On the first day of Christmas, my true love . . . blah, blah, blah.” It’s long, it’s time-consuming, and it’s outdated. What the heck is a leaping lord anyway? And where are you going to get 10 of them? Anyway, we decided to change the lyrics around a bit.

We thought about what makes up a career at nursing school (and beyond), and created a new holiday carol that is sure to turn stress into a smile within seconds. Obviously, there’s no need to supply the background music, as it’s been bouncing around in your head since you read the last paragraph.

Without further ado, we present to you “The 12 Days of Nursing.” Enjoy!

“On the first day of nursing, my college gave to me . . .

12 professors professing
11 classmates studying
10 mannequins breathing
9 coffee pots brewing
8 preceptors precepting
7 mentors mentoring
6 doctors mumbling
5 NCLEX® study guides
4 drug calculations
3 sets of scrubs
2 hours of sleep
1 patient who needs an IV”

Look for the single in record stores this winter. (The record company said the contract is in the mail. We’re still waiting.)

Happy holidays!
