Ok had a long shift tonight and the night before..2 RRT's and a code blue...normally the IV alarms don't bother me, I hear them and change them right away, I pay close attention to the Cardiac Monitor alarms, but for some reason, some mornings I come home and I am like, hmm I should go chck that pump or DING DING DING let me see the tele monitor and then i realize I AM AT HOME! what the #$@! it's like going to a Heavy metal concert and after it is over having that loud ringing in your ears...maybe I am crazy but PLEASE tell me I am not the only NURSE who experiences this...thanks:heartbeat:bugeyes:

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 :p
