This happened way back when when I was a nursing assistant and was working at a rehab hospital and an acute area of another hospital working Step Down.

Well, I'd been working many shifts and this stuff is all new to me and some of the situations were traumatic and stressful besides my being sleep deprived. Anyway, I woke up in my living room one night and thought in my mind that I was at the "hospital." NO kidding, totally thought I was at work even if everything was pitch black. I looked and saw my wife sleeping in her room with the clock radio with the red LED glow on her night stand and thought "A patient sleeping with an Spo2 monitor, don't disturb." And I walked to another room and saw a bed and thought "Another patient getting needed rest, don't disturb!" I walked to the "nurses station" which was actually the restroom and stood there in the pitch darkness of night. Then I said to myself, "Somethings wrong, this can't be right!" I felt around in the room. I grasped at the sink and then noted the juxtaposition of the toilet. "Gosh darn it! I'm at home!"

Since I started traveling, I have recurring dreams of being "homeless" and trying to find a house or apartment... =\

I just started working as a GN (passed boards now RN) 3 weeks ago. I have dreams constantly about nursing.

About a week ago I had a dream that i shot myself in the leg and it was just dangling. I was hopping around trying to find an ambulance. I finally did and the paramedic put an IV in my hand, but it infiltrated by the time i got to the hospital, so the nurse couldn't give me any pain medicine.

Then I had a dream that an IV pump was beeping and i couldn't find the room that it was in. When i woke up, it was my alarm clock going off.

My latest dream was that I got my own labs back and my BUN and Creatinine were "sky high". No values, the report just said "sky high". My kidneys were failing.

these were all within the last 3 weeks.
