My Cousin: The Nurse

I’m Robyn, and I’ve got a proper job;

a student nurse, and I work bloody hard

with long shifts! Unlike other students – slobs

with part-time hours, books and library cards.

I bet they can’t insert a catheter

with a warm smile that reaches tired red eyes,

or touch snot to take your temperature!

See, its my hands, not books, that make me wise.

---

Forget the budget cuts and politics.

Forget the paperwork and other shit.

I love my job – to heal and mend and fix.

I love to nurse and care with joy and wit!
