The night after I work two in a row is always hard to sleep because my dreams are so stressful!! For instance, right now it is only 5:45 am, but I am awake since I couldn't stop dreaming about real patients I had yesterday but with dreamt up critical lab values that need an MD call. I dreamt my 50 year old woman with a SBO had a Na of 142 (real) and that it dropped to 127 (dream) and that her H/H went from 10.5/whatever to 6.8 (dream).
Can't I just have some peace here!

This blog has gone through many transformations and I have now accepted it as a hodge-podge of my life, consisting of food, fitness, nursing life, and a place to share. This journal was created a few years back to chronicle my journey through nursing school. I have since graduated and now work in the ICU. Currently, I am in the process of earning my Master's degree to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. Enjoying a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle, although difficult at times, is my on-going and ultimate goal!

If any story sounds familiar to you, it is simply coincidence. Stories are fabricated for entertainment.

haha you poor thing dreaming about work!
My job search sucks! Nowhere is hiring LPNs.. ugh!
I have tons of dreams about work...it's terrible!! I think it's probably because I work evening shift and go to sleep soon after I get home. Many dreams are about something I "missed" or things that went wrong/could have gone better. It's so bad, I don't get good sleep anymore!
