20)  R.E.M.  ~  “Everybody Hurts”  (This song and the next few in this set are less ABOUT nurses but more about what nurses DO. Here, they help you when you’re hurt.)

21)  Evanescence  ~  “Bring Me To Life”  (Yep, they can do that, too.)

22)  Bette Midler  ~  “Wind Beneath My Wings”  (Any nurse who’s ever taken good care of you more than lives up to this song.)

24)  The Fray  ~  “How To Save A Life”  (Oh, they KNOW how!)

25)  Starflyer 59  ~  “Card Games & Old Friends”  (What every nurse does during their day-long breaks at work, right? Of course this song DOESN’T describe nurses, but references one of the most foolish statements ever to come out of the mouth of a politician. If you’re a nurse, or you love one, or you simply pay attention, you know what I’m talking about.)
