Rappin' Nurse Thomson
Need a refresher on your maternity rotation? Check out YouTube.
Thomson Haley 09N has posted a video featuring himself rapping about his experience. Decked out in sunglasses and a winter hat, he starts the thumping music...
Let’s induce the labor
Let’s start the action
Administer the pit
Will increase the contractions
Yeah, they’re getting longer
Yeah, they’re getting stronger
Increase the duration and check the cervix for dilation
Then I check the station, about a plus-2
I know what to do when the baby is coming through
His head’s starting to crown, he’s heading southbound
Oh please catch the baby before it hits the ground
Haley says he’s written poetry and listened to rap and hip-hop for a number of years but only started rapping in his sophomore year of Emory when he needed a creative project for a class. Since then, “rapping has helped pass the time when I’m driving or lifeguarding during the summer,” he says.
After he posted the video and word spread in the School of Nursing, his classmates were surprised. “I’ve gotten a lot more attention from teachers,” he says. “Even if I haven’t been in their class, they come up to me and say, ‘You’re the rapper, aren’t you?’ At first I thought the rapping was kind of goofy, but it helps me learn. It gets me excited about studying. With any subject I’m studying, I just freestyle it.”
