I ended up getting called in at 0330 and I felt like crap. It wasn't bad though. I burned 1100 calories in 4 hours running my tail off trying to keep someone alive. I had a lot of help from my co workers (great crew on this weekend, btw) and I didn't feel freaked out and overwhelmed like I have in the past. Progress? I suppose. My charge was like "I LOVE these patients and I can't wait until you do too!" It felt good that she has enough confidence in me that someday I WILL like those patients.
It's 0910 and I've taken Benadryl 50mg and Melatonin 3mg. I will be taking Sudafed 60mg as well. aaaand goodnight. =) I did this combo yesterday and I was able to get 4 solid hours of sleep breathing through my nose. It was SWEET!
