The Singing Nurse songs are now downloadable here at “The Singing Nurse” website.
Check it out at the “Music“ tab to listen and download.
Make sure and get your orders in time for the start of the school year. Nothing like starting the school year with your kids singing “Don’t Spread Your Germs Around” and “Rubba Dub Dub” to ward off the germs of the flu and cold season.
You can download the songs here and copy and paste the words from my “Lyrics and Inspiration“ page or if you prefer, you can order a physical CD from my online Store at the “Music“ tab. PayPal and all major credit cards accepted.
So have you been enjoying the summer, it is almost over. I’ve enjoyed mine, but I’m hoping for an Indian Summer.
Have a wonderful school year. Remember to “cough and sneeze in your shoulder”…
Sincerely for Healthy Kids…Ms. Dawn

ealth Songs
My last project is now complete. Three Rice students found my website while looking for health songs and contacted me about writing some songs for their Beyond Traditional Borders program, and “Global Health Songs, Songs for Life and Healthy Living” was born. They really enjoyed “Babies are Beautiful” and asked me to write some songs to go along with their reproductive health curriculum which encourages families to visit the local clinic where they can receive medical help and education. My hope is that “Global Health Songs” will be a vehicle to connect needy families with competent health care givers in their community.
The Song titles are:
1.“Won’t You Come to the Clinic”, a song with Latin beats encouraging families to come to the clinic where the doctor and nurse are there to help them.
2.“See Your Doctor Nurse and Friend”, a gentle Rap song encouraging families to visit the clinic where they can “see your doctor, nurse and friend, they can give you medicine.”
3. “Everyone is Healthy!”, is harmony filled acapella song that starts with fear of the health care providers and turns to reasons why “The Doctor helps your baby, the doctor helps your little child”. Josh enhances this tune with harmony and echos back in Spanish.
4. “Go to the Doctor”, with flutes and hand drums give this song a Native American feel which shares “go to the clinic, come to the clinic, everyone there is friendly and nice”. I think this one is my favorite.
5-8 are all the same songs sung acapella using simple rhythm instruments which provides examples to health care givers who may use the songs in remote villages with electricity unavailable.
Hope you enjoy and let your medical missionary friends hear.
God Bless, Ms Dawn, The Singing Nurse

Rice student connection-Global Health Songs Underway!
I am very excited to be working on 4 songs for 3 Rice students, two of them pictured here. The songs will help to promote the health program the students are working on for Guatemala and Botswana. They are attending Rice University and involved in the program BeyondTraditionalBorders. I did some preproduction yesterday and like the way the songs are coming along. One of my music friends Josh, is going to help by adding some spanish words and vocals to the recordings.

We have had some interest in The Singing Nurse songs from an educational music website. We are looking over the contract to see if it is a fit for The Singing Nurse sing along songs. We have also heard back from Pam Beall WeeSing co author.
Pam Beall said the following: “The Singing Nurse is a delightful and much needed CD for parents, teachers, and young children. The health concepts are important and presented in a way that children can easily sing along and remember through fun melodies and catchy accompaniments. This CD would be a wonderful teaching tool for a health unit in preschool and early elementary school. It would also be valuable to parents as they teach their children good health habits at home.”
So it looks like things are looking good. I look forward to keeping you all up to date on everything that goes on…
Stay Healthy,
Ms. Dawn

Nurse Sings Health Lessons to Kids
Few of us have the opportunity to integrate a favorite past-time in our workaday world, but Dawn Ginese, RN, is one of the lucky few. Ginese has been a Nurse for 13 years and a musician for most of her life, so when she began a job in a New York State Head Start Program nine years ago, she began using music to communicate health concepts to her young charges…
Prior to her position with Head Start, Ginese worked in home care with quadriplegics and pediatric patients. She has maintained contact with a young female patient who, due to the disease of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), is now paraplegic but still enthusiastic about her efforts to walk. Together they are writing a song that showcases the girls positive outlook.
“It is fulfilling to be able to use my musical talents, both educationally and therapeutically,” Ginese said. “Helping this 16-year-old girl express her thoughts and hopes gives me immense satisfaction.”
“…my satisfaction comes from being a part of the solution to the puzzle that makes a person’s health better, both emotionally and physically. It is a bonus that I love music and can enjoy communicating healthy living in a fun and educational way with music and movement.”

Hi, Just wanted to remind you about the Tick season that is soon to be upon us. Listen to “The Tick Song” to learn how to prevent tick borne diseases. It has a broadway show sound and is a lot of fun. Go to the Lyrics and Inspiration page to read all of the words and how it came to be. Lyric sample: “Stay away from that tick, he’ll make you feel sick, and you may want to cry”, “Don’t you get Ehrlichiosis or Babeseosis or Lyme”
Stay Healthy, Ms. Dawn
