I was with a large gathering of people my own age, most of whom I did not know. (Both sexes were present.) One of the boys was injured in some way. It was a boy (age 22) I had recognized as having been stationed at Ft. while I was there. I only knew him by sight. To my knowledge I was the only graduate nurse in the group so I did what I could to determine the nature of his injury & make him comfortable. However, there was a student nurse present who pushed forward & "took over the show." I, more or less submitted & stood by the sidelines. The ambulance & doctor arrived - & transported the boy to the hospital on a plank. The only symptom he seemed to have was a swelling, redness, tautness of the 3rd finger on his left hand. It was believed that he had a spinal injury.  The scene changed to a hospital ward. Another nurse (same age) and I were with the patient. The doctor had just left, after arranging some pillows & blankets under the boy's back. Miss D. (32) a supervisor in Nursing arts, with whom I had previously worked came into the room & asked why the pillows had been arranged in such a fashion. She gave me the impression that she thought I was very stupid. Even though we told her that the doctor had arranged them in that manner, she changed them to what she believed was the best and correct way. Interpretation I have often wondered, as has everybody, how I would react in an emergency, especially as a nurse. Would I be able to apply adequately my knowledge? Was the dream an expression of my uncertainty? Answers to questions 2. Feeling of inadequacy confusion sympathy3. I was an actual participant4.
