hey y'all! i am a nursing student and will be entering my first year of nursing soon. during clinicals, i've been working really hard, as all of you have experienced i'm sure! i was just wondering if any experienced nurses had some advice as to how to stay healthy during this first year of adjustment-- specifically, i feel like i may develop physical problems like back problems or leg problems from being on my feet all day and working. also, i feel like the shifts are so long and sometimes through the night, making exercising in my free time a really difficult and tiring task. also, being tired will make me take less time to prepare healthy food and lean me towards unhealthy meals. how do y'all keep from getting hurt physically and also how do y'all manage your time to still stay healthy? any tips or guidelines would be greatly appreciated because i'd like to preserve my own health while helping others too!! thanks! sliedberg
