LexRaven 13 Posts Nov 10, 2012 When my plate is full: Job, school, work I set aside a 30 min hard workout to help work off steam. Even if you just walk for 30 min you can listen to vocab recording for school. Helps me feel double productive! It can be done: Add veggies Drink water 1 Cup of coffee a day take the stairs add fruit If you have a day off do Yoga! Drink more water Vending machine are evil ( it may be hard but stay away) Plan, Plan Plan ( I save money by bring snacks to work and school) Drink water Smile No regrets, if you have an off day or meal acknowledge it then move on.

Sadala, ADN, RN 356 Posts Specializes in Med Surg. Has 9 years experience. Nov 11, 2012 Just plain don't have time to eat, and don't think about it half the time, because I'm doing other stuff. Posting here is a guilty pleasure I take a break to do once in a while

DysrhythmiaRN 32 Posts Nov 11, 2012 Lose weight, yea right, I wish, I gained weight from all the stress. I didn't have time to eat at times during school, clinicals, and work but then I would get home and stuff my face.

tanna898 64 Posts Specializes in Peds, MH, Corrections, School, Tele. Has 17 years experience. Nov 12, 2012 I lost weight in nursing school for a few reasons. I was much more active running around the hospital and when I did eat I usually just had a salad because lets face it hospital food stinks and there is no time to run and get fast food. The weight loss was temporary unfortunately after I graduated I got a job at a school and sit around most of the day eating all the yummy treats in the office. I am now thinking I need to go back to nursing school so I can loose some weight.

rubato, ASN, RN 1,111 Posts Specializes in Oncology/hematology. Nov 12, 2012 I've gained. Before school started, I was a marathon runner and was always training for something. I no longer have the time to even think about races and can barely get in 3 or 4 miles. I am still walking the dog every day, but the activity level has dropped a ton and eating hasn't. Guess I'd better rethink how much I eat now.
