A Reader’s “Ode to OASIS-C”

Inspiration can come from many things.  For one of our readers, her inspiration was OASIS-C!

Diane Guthrie is an RN and Clinical OASIS Specialist at Susquehanna Home Care & Hospice in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.  Read Guthrie’s original  “Ode to OASIS-C” below!

ODE TO OASIS-C

(OR- I’VE FALLEN AND CAN’T GET UP):

I LOVE MY JOB, BUT GOLLY GEE…

OASIS- C IS KILLING ME!

I GOT A STAGE I ON MY SEAT –

REVIEWING M0’S THAT AREN’T COMPLETE.

MY CAULIFLOWER EARS APPEARED

FROM CALLING FIELD STAFF (AS THEY FEARED.)

CAN’T GET A BREAK, I NEED A REST…

I NEED ASSISTANCE TO GET DRESSED!

MY HANDS ARE SORE, MY EYES ARE CROSSED;

I TRIED TO LEAVE BUT JUST GOT LOST.

I FINALLY LAID DOWN ON MY BED,

OASIS VISIONS IN MY HEAD.

I DRIFTED OFF, PERCHANCE TO DREAM

TILL PROCESS MEASURES MADE ME SCREAM!

WE’LL MAKE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE;

BUT GOSH, IT’S AN EXCITING RIDE!
