I don't think it's so much what you eat as opposed to how much you exercise. Make it a habit go hit the gym after your shift. Most hospitals have gyms and strangely, every hospital I've ever been to, the gym is always empty. Don't eat all the tons of food everyone seems to bring in. (especially on nights) bring your lunch. Stand and chart, I like doing that. I hardly ever sit down, I actually make it a point not to.

The only doors it will open is: door for ridicule by others (Eg. Meet the parents) door for being a human fork lift at work.

thats what we all get for wearing pajamas to work.

the only thing that will help you to get better at starting IV's is to keep at it. Youll eventually get there the more you do.

Transformers scrubs!!! lol

I work in ICU as well. Youll have enough patient care to make you vomit. however. expect to spend about 20 minutes charting on something that takes you 3 seconds to actually do. you can thank your insurance companies and politicians for that btw

The kaplan helped me a lot when I first took mine forever ago.... but truthfully, my advice to you is go do something else. The healthcare field is circiling the toilet right now and nursing as a profession is pretty terrible as a whole anyway. I dont advise anyone to do it. If you really want, I say take the kaplan and just have a good attitude. And do it sooner than later.
