Hi everyone! I am currently doing my pre-reqs for nursing school and I'm also a CNA in home health. I was wondering about some tips to stay healthy while being a nurse for future knowledge? I see a lot of nurses that say they've gained weight, eat unhealthy, and don't have much energy. Currently I work nights in home health so I just basically sit all night and I'm hardly active. I'm interviewing for some CNA positions at hospitals and I know it will be a lot more active work, which is what I want. I already need to lose 20lbs and I plan on dieting and learning to eat healthy before I'm in a program so I can learn. I also have been thinking about doing kickboxing classes. Is it hard to juggle exercise with work and nursing school? And once you're a nurse, is it hard to find the motivation to work out? Does night shift make a huge difference in your metabolism? Thanks for any input! I believe it's important we take care of ourselves as we take care of others! ♡
