   chunkalunk replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

   chunkalunk replied to sameishafate's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Not everyone gets their degree in 4 years. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that!! I have definitely felt how you felt. I saw all my peers surpassing me. It made me feel useless and like I wasted so much time. I slowly came to learn to each his/...

7. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

   chunkalunk replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

   I've been tempted to try blue apron. I actually was close to ordering it the other day. Then I started to think about how much money I don't have. Haha maybe one day soon

8. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

   chunkalunk replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

   I make big plans like that too. Instead, I get home, change, lay down, and play fetch with my cat. She should learn how to cook and I'd be set.

   chunkalunk replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

   Hmm. I eat a lot of stir frys so the idea of cutting veggies ahead of time might work! I also have a lot of frozen veggies too (since it's cheaper and I'm broke)

    chunkalunk replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm planning to buy a crock pot so I can come home to hot meals but I keep pushing it back. My schedule is pretty full with working, school, and studying. By the end of the day, all I want is me time or sleep time. I try to cook on the days I have 8 ...

    chunkalunk posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I'm writing this as I wait to clock out from my 6:30 am to 7:00 pm shift. The one thing on my mind is FOOD. What am I going to eat?? Should I cook or buy something? I have to be up early tomorrow for clinical. I like my sleep but I feel like I'm ...

14. showering: before or after work

    chunkalunk replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer showers after work. I'll do an occasional before work shower if I just didn't have the energy the night before. I can't do showers everyday because of my eczema and dry sensitive skin. I shower every other day unless it was a really gross da...

15. Low census--what do you do?

    chunkalunk replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

    I'm nursing student too (like another previous poster) but I work as a CNA in the mean time. Beginning of this year, my per diem hospice job started having a low census. I was put on call or canceled a lot. I had a feeling that would continue during...
