yawngasm
got your attention didn't i? yes, there is a drug that lists this as an "adverse effect." but i'm not going to tell you what it is. what kind of nurse would i be if i turned all of my friends and family into drug addicts? although...i guess that effect could be potentially embarrasing. it's anafranil...go at it.
sigh....so today was the worst day yet. it was injection day. while performing my one and only chance at practice i pretty much scratched my partner's arm with the needle and made her bleed. so that was very very cooooool. after that i had a hard time focusing and felt like i was just one step behind for the rest of the day, which just makes me have that much more work to do over the weekend to catch back up. part of the day we were practicing drawing up meds. this is the one thing that i hate about nursing. i do not want to push medication. so, learning it makes me feel like i will hate being a nurse, which is a very discouraging feeling after all of this torture. plus, it is alot of math. and well, let's just say that with each new day it seems more and more likely that i will end up killing somebody with my math skills. i just have to remind myself that nursing is such a diverse field. i will not be the nurse pushing meds in a hospital for very long, that's for darn sure.
i think the problem was that the day just didn't start out right. i stayed up extra late last night after reading over 200 pages to practice a skill that i was supposed to be tested on today. but, the prof had to leave early making that just one more thing i have to worry about for next week. it didn't help either that i received two prank phone calls last night, one at 2am and the other at 3am from some punk kids who used every expletive in the book threatening to beat me up if i did not pay them the $20 i "owed" to them. what the heck? i *69ed the number after the second call and vowed that if they called again i would turn the number over to the police. that didn't happen which is probably good b/c i was so deleriously tired that i'm pretty sure i had the number wrong anyway. i most likely would have ended up turing in one of my own sisters or something.
as for tonight...i'm taking the night off. brett very kindly rented me the whole first season of SCRUBS from the library and i am going to watch every single episode while lying in my bed with my cat with a glass of coke followed by probaby two glasses of wine. and who knows, maybe an anafranil. yaaaaaawwwwn. -sn

I thought fluoxetine had that effect on a small minority of people, also. sadly, I am not one of those people . . .
I just tagged you with a meme. Rules are on my blog. Just what you need - another assignment.
I have to say, I've never before heard of a yawngasm - though it sounds fun.
Sorry you are having such a rough time, I promise though there is so much more to nursing than meds that I'm sure your are good at. And the math DOES get easier.

That all sounds very tricky. Considering I regularly mess up on (5th garde) math jeopardy in my classroom, I think you might have a better chance at keeping the hospital population alive. Although I do remember a bit of a problem with long division. Is there long division in nursing?
soooo...where do I get this drug??
