![]() "When people are laughing, they're generally not killing each other." -- Alan Alda With my current teaching schedule, I get to work with students in various stages of the program - from sophomores to seniors. It is truly joyful to witness these nursing butterflies emerge from cocoons of anxiety aka nursing school. A colleague recently introduced me to the Nurse Blake video series. Oh my goodness ... this guy presents the reality of the profession while administering a steady dose of belly laughs. Whether you are a nurse, a nursing student or someone who enjoys hearty laughter ... I am sharing one of Nurse Blake's videos. I will be stopping back to check out even more PRN (as needed to you non-nurses)! And, music lovers, some "U"-songs for your listening pleasure... Something Old This song is timeless ... almost 55-years young. Something New I'll be curious to see future work from this 'up and coming' lady with a cool name (Jade Bird) and a quirky sound. I'm loving her so far... :) Something Borrowed "Under The Milky Way" is a hauntingly beautiful song by a group that I was first introduced to back in 1988 - check this out. Something Blue: It's hard to believe that I have gotten all the way to the "U"-songs without including Aretha Franklin's magical voice - so, here you go... :) ShoutOutsUntil next week, wishing you peace and a song in your heart, mar

Hello mar - U certainly know how to pick songs for early morning listening. "Mar's DJ Moments", I assume will start once 'Z' musical intermissions is complete. The Righteous Brothers - now were is my brush microphone when it is needed?

Love the music selections for U day. Unchained Melody has been a long-time favorite - before "Ghost" came out but even more so afterward. Love me some Patrick Swayze. Miss him, too.

OMG....ROTFLMAO.........I haven't laughed this hard since.........Well, since yesterday (because I insist upon laughter in daily doses!) This guy is hilarious. The funniest part is that there's always a strong element of "reality/truth" within every humorous stint. I believe this young nursing student actually does feel stressed!! He also proves the best way to deal with stress is through humor and laughter! I rest my case!

Fantastic collections. Every time I see the Righteous Brothers, it brings back so many memories. When I turned 9, I got a stereo for my birthday. I got a couple CDs and a couple "Oldies But Goodies" tapes. I listened to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin" over and over again by my Righteous Brother friends. And then when the movie "Ghost" came out a year later, the "Unchained Melody" became synonymous with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore...and I'll forever associate the Righteous Brothers with 5th grade and Ghost. Hehe. It's funny how music has the power to evoke such memories. Aretha Franklin...R-E-S-P-E-C-T is the first thing I think of...and Forrest Gump. Hehe. Now, the "Under the Milky Way" song I'm not as familiar with. Thank you for sharing. Now I will forever-associate it with your site here. Hehe.
