How often do you get sick? More or less often than

Before going to nursing school? What ways do you try to stay healthy or boost your immune system?

Me, exercise, eat right (some of the time ), emergen c and most recently elderberry syrup.

Thanks for the input!

SLEEP is HUGE!!!!

I do have to add that there are days I come home from my back to back clinical days and sleep straight through to the next morning...like 12+ hours of sleep.

I think if I had pushed through and studied or tried to muddle through I would have gotten sick more often.

I run 3 times a week to improve my immune system. Other than that, nothing. I got my first cold the week of finals when the first year of nursing school was over. The people in the hospital usually aren't the cause of illness since we wash our hands ad nauseum. It's those classmates and family members that infect us : )
