I've been expanding my nursing blogroll and in doing so I came across this post from a blog that hasn't been updated in forever. Rather than try to be creative, I'm just going to lift it straight from their blog and land it here for your enjoyment. Watch this video and you will know why I am so cool.
Here is the video in question: It is available in Quicktime format or in Windows Media format.
In 2004, Craig
Barton, RN, and other ED staff at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham created an irreverent one-minute rap video, in response to a
hospital-wide nurse recruitment video contest. They won. Their
low-budget video is a clever and infectious slice of the life of an
urban ED nurse, with a focus on nurses' life-saving skills. There's
nothing angelic, maternal, or handmaidenish in it. And the joyous video
gives viewers a better sense of what modern nursing is really like.
Here are the lyrics:
Ka-boom! We're the emergency room!
And we treat every single patient from the womb to the tomb!"
Any kind of patient is accepted, our skills are well-perfected.
We expect the unexpected, that’s why we’re well-respected.
We’re ER Nurses. medications, we disperses.
When things get the worses, our talents just emerges
"Room 10, there's a patient with a hurtin' in the belly,
Look, there goes the intern with the KY jelly!"
Got a cat scan in room 6, xrays in room 8
there’s a chest pain in room 1 that really cant wait
He’s got a positive history, get a 12 lead EKG,
Better draw some blood for labwork when you start that IV
Got a migraine in room 2, room 3 has the flu,
Room 4 can’t pooh pooh. room 5 is plain Cukoo.
Lots of traumas on the way, right into the trauma bay
It can get a little loud, but yo, we like it that way
Yes it’s hectic, yet it’s clear, there’s no job that can compare
But don’t sweat it, have no fear, yo, we’re saving lives up here
Yeah were state of the art , so, yo, come be a part
Of this one-of-a-kind family that's 100% heart!"

one time when it was slow, we did a mock delivery for the benefit of those of us still in orientation. It was pretty funny. but alas, no rap.
