CALL BELLS

GM2RN · Nov 13, 2010

I don't wake up to it, but sometimes while I'm awake, but not at work, I imagine I'm hearing a call bell or cardiac monitor alarm. Sometimes I also smell phantom odors from work.

Hahaa!! I thought I was the only one It's funny how you can "diagnose" via nose sometimes!!

oh honey, you are not crazy at alll....... I pass pills all night in my dreams! I asked people at my work (ltc facility) and they say they do the same darn thing! :)

Oh gosh, I am so glad to know that I'm not the only one who's ears are playing tricks on me! I am not really waking up because of the "noises" but many times I have "heard" IV occlusion alarms, cardiac monitors/pulse ox's.... one time at home on a perfectly normal day I even picked up the phone at my home and said, "(Insert nsg unit name here), this is Christa, how can I help you?" Hahaha, I guess it is hard to leave work at work sometimes!

I hate when that sort of thing happens! I wake up feeling like I never left work.

I've turned off my shower before because I swore I heard an IV pump beeping.

I've woken up to the phone ringing/alarm clock and thinking to myself- will someone get that f-ing call bell, it's waking me up!!!!

I had to throw out one alarm clock that sounded too much like a bed alarm going off. I wanted to wake up, but not jump up and fall out of bed myself!
