Re: Monitor and IV pump Alarms, I hear them im my sleep

Ok, I thought it appropriate to post in this particular thread. For quite a while now, I've come home after a long shift, then jump right into a hot shower. While I'm standing there, with my eyes wide open, I hear an alarm of some sort. I think: huh, I wonder what's going on?...wait a minute. I'm standing in my shower! Even after I realize this, I STILL hear them! I know auditory hallucinations are never a good thing, so naturally, I thought maybe I was going crazy. Point to this long story...yay! I'm not crazy! Thank you to everyone who posted they're 'crazy' storys! (makes me feel a wee bit better!)

Re: Monitor and IV pump Alarms, I hear them im my sleep

I use to wake my husband up in the middle of the night and tell him that I coundn't find the problem with the pump. After the one millionth time he just tells me now that the patients are fine and I go right back to sleep.

Re: Monitor and IV pump Alarms, I hear them im my sleep

I just told a coworker last week that I hear alarms in my sleep. Sometimes I wake up thinking "oh crap, I missed vital signs or giving meds!" and then I realize I'm not at work
