The sound of bells or this will make me pretty nuts within a day.

Yesterday I worked at the ward in the new hospital where I will be working as a real nurse from October on. It's a cardiology ward and they have a lot of patients wearing a telemetry or who are connected with a monitoring system.

The alarm bell rang the whole fucking day.
Seriously.
It's like a wedding or Christmas Eve or when you're in a church or something.

Okay, this is a little over the top but it's pretty close :D



I said to a nurse: "Wow, how do you get along with that? It's driving me nuts already."
She replied: "Well.. You get used to it. After a while you only listen to the really important alarms."
and her colleague added: "When I started working here I woke up in the middle of the night in my bed because I heard the alarm bell for a flatline in my head."
