Nurses are the backbone of the medical field, providing care to patients in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings. They work long hours and are often under pressure, but they always put their patients first.
Nurses are also incredibly compassionate and caring, and they often go above and beyond to make their patients feel comfortable and safe. They are truly unsung heroes, and they deserve our respect and admiration.
This collection of poems is a tribute to nurses everywhere. It celebrates their dedication, compassion, and hard work. I hope you enjoy reading these poems as much as I enjoyed compiling them.
I will continue to update this collection with new poems as I find them. So please check back often to see what’s new.
In the meantime, I would like to thank all the nurses for their hard work and dedication. You are truly appreciated.
Famous poems about nurses
The Nurse
by a San Francisco nurse, Margaret Helen Florine a century ago
With magic touch to fevered brow,
To ease your pain her only thought,
Earnest, quiet, swift and calm,
Divining wishes, praise unsought,
On silent, willing feet, she goes
Your perfect comfort first she seeks;
Her only dreams are health for you,
As she her lonely vigil keeps.
Your life! what splendid recompense
For those three golden years she gave!
An autocrat, a selfless soul,
Your stern commander, yet your slave.
For a Special Nurse
Long before you entered nursing,
The Lord had played his part,
Planting seeds of love and kindness
In the portals of your heart.
For it’s clear that you’ve ben gifted
With a sympathetic ear,
And blessed from the beginning,
With a willingness to cheer.
and the people who you care for,
are better of by far,
When they’re touched by your compassion,
By the person that you are.
For in times of wee and worry,
When they’re frightened or they’re blue,
No one could be more consoling
Than the friend they’l find in you!
Traveling Nurse
We nurture by nature–
any nurse will tell you this.
I love connecting with people,
seeing things from
I love connecting with people,
seeing things from
and supporting them when
they return for treatment.
I’ve wanted to do this
since I was very young
and I love that no one here
complains about helping someone.
From the first day at Sibley
the staff has felt like a team,
which will make it
incredibly bittersweet
to leave when I have to
travel to the next city.
Nurses
By Daniel Mark Extrom
We do not brag too much,
but this is surely true:
We have a lot of knowledge
and a lot of skill
to do the work we do for you –
to help you when you’re injured,
to help you when you’re ill.
We work hard to do it well,
to bring you back your health,
so you get back to what you do –
so you get back to being you.
This is what we love to do.
Nurse
By lovinglinesandmore
When God sent you to help me heal,
He sent a special gift.
It was you, an earthly angel
That he would bless me with.
An angel that would laugh with me,
An angel that would cry.
An angel that would pick me up
And lift my spirits high
An angel with a great big smile
And an even bigger heart.
An angel with such gentle ways
Who cared right from the start.
A special nurse-you truly are.
You stand above the rest,
And al of those you care for;
By you-they’re truly blessed.

Being a Nurse
Being a
Nurse Means…
You will never be bored.
You will always be frustrated.
You will be surrounded by challenges,
so much to do and so little time.
You will carry immense responsibility
and very little authority.
You will step into people’s lives
and you will make a difference,
Some will bless you.
Some will curse you
You wil see people at their worst-
and at their best.
You will never cease to be amazed
at peoples capacity for
Love, courage, and endurance.
You will see experience pesounding triumphs
and devastating failures.
You will cry a lot.
You will laugh a lot.
You wil know what it is to be human.
Be A Nurse
By Edwin C Hofert
As I look all around me.
And see how life has changed.
All my younger hopes and dreams.
Have all been rearranged.
I used to want to be a hero.
Fly around just doing good.
Learning as I got older.
To do the things I should.
I never wanted to be famous.
Or own big fancy cars.
Or set foot on the moon.
And study all the stars.
I did not seek out power.
To tell others what to do.
But if I could be like
I’d want to be like you.
Helping little children.
And some older people too.
If I could go back in time.
I know just what I’d do.
I would not look for diamonds.
Or lots of money in a purse.
I would be the best of heroes.
I would become a nurse.

I will nurse you there

I am a nurse because I care
So wear your mask to be fair
Did I Just Wash My Hands Again!?
By Pete Rn
How many times do nurses wash their hands?
As many times as Brain makes escape plans.
If I would have thought of investing in soap
I wouldn’t be here cleaning poop like a dope.
