The Nurse's Walk

I'll have some stories to share with you all soon, but I have something to give you. I have composed a song.

This song was born out of inspiration that I received from watching nurses that I aspire to be like. One thing that they had in common was that they all had mastered the Nurse's Walk. Apparently, this is something that you gain once you have experience because I know for sure that not all nursing students can accomplish this.
In order to give you all an idea of what this concept it, I wrote this song. I'm proud of it.

To the tune of "Walk like an Egyptian"  (Here's the link to the original song if you don't know it http://youtu.be/gzeOWnnSNjg  and this is the link to the karaoke version so you can sing along http://youtu.be/VJ-9J-mejkk)

Call lights flashing everywhere
They need to go now, don't you know
If they move too quick oh whey oh
They're falling down like a domino

Got to give all the meds by nine
or they'll be late oh no whey oh
Need to educate them on time
So they can be ready to go  

Shoulders back and head held high say
Make way oh, ay oh whey ohhhhhh
Walk like a busy nurse

Dance break!

The PCAs take the trays
They make the bed and they cross the floor
They've got the moves oh whey oh
You can tell they've done this before

All the patients so sick of this
They feel like a pincushion
Then the Code Bell Rings oh whey oh
You're running fast as you can

Stride like you're on a mission
Make way oh, ay oh whey ohhhhhhh
Walk like a busy nurse

Dance break #2!

Slide them onto the bed bend your back
Shift the sheets then you pull them back
Life is hard you know oh whey oh
So find a good chiroprac

If you want to have some fun
You make sure your charting is done
You sing and dance oh whey oh
You've made a difference to someone

Walk with pride cause you made someone's day
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like a busy nurse
Walk like a busy nurse


Note: I left out one verse. I got lazy. Also, I know that chiroprac isn't a word, but it just worked so well I decided to keep it.
