Nursing Rule: You can NEVER have to many gummi bears.
lol, I was studying for my NCLEX all day today. My wife was going to the store so I asked for fruit roll ups. When she came back I ate all ten in less than an hour. I came out with the box and she asked for one. I was like errr. yeeah about that.
Sorry about that. I was trying to make a funny that didn't come across as intended.
No, it's so true. Nurses should try to set an example and live healthy. It's not always easy. Age plays a factor too. After next week hopefully, God willing, school, tests, and NCLEX will be over and I can get off my butt and burn some calories.
Have started NS yet, but my favorite snack food through all of my pre-req's was raw almonds from the health food store in my area. They have even replaced a meal or two when I was really busy.
I really like Kashi granola bars (cept the peanut butter ones but thats just because I'm not a peanut butter fan outside of PB&J) They taste really good, aren't too dry, are all natural, and being prepackaged means I won't eat them all at once (as long as i don't sit down w/ my books and the whole box! lol)
If I'm in a hurry and need a meal otw to school though I tend to grab poptarts. Bad, but the sugar rush tends to get me through the drive home after my night class on Mondays.
PB sandwich, lots of crystal light mixed with water, cheese/WW crackers, Dried fruit, and granola bars! (plus some double chocolate dipped peanut clusters.....mmmmmmmmmm) (what? peanuts are protein too....)
My current study snacks include: celery sticks with almond butter, Kashi Almond Flax bars, a few walnut halves, peaches/pears and I love Fage yogurt (great protein source without the sugars you find in most yogurts).
