Hi, there! I am looking to see if there are other medical field professionals who would like to join me on this journey. I am a third shift BSN RN currently working on my MSN/FNP. Our jobs and schedules are unique in the stressors, so that's why I am hoping to find some others out there. EMT, pharmacy, nurse, NP, PA, MD, CNA, TLM tech, lab, radiology, anyone I missed! Where you at? Friend me, comment here, or send me a message!

Hey! I'm an MRI radiographer doing morning, evening and weekend shifts in Australia. Feel free to friend or message me! I'm finding I need to factor in different eating times for work and it can be a challenge!1

@AprilRN10 Contact @CharlieBeansmomTracey She is a former RN who was very helpful to me with my Keto diet. She provided me with a lot of important info. She's a super nice gal!
I think she'd be a great friend to have on your journey! 
Wishing you great success! Michelle 2 -

I said I used to be a nurse I wasnt an RN though(just want to clear that up).I just know a bit about keto although there are others more qualified out there than I am.2 -
@CharlieBeansmomTracey No matter, RN or LPN, still a nurse, though transparency is great!
@mrssie1223 Thank you!1 -
Pharmacy here, fun times lol2

ER RN working 7p-7a3

Cardiology NP here that rotates 8 hr, 10 hr and 12 hr shifts both in office and hospital. So it is a struggle to fit exercise in on a consistent basis. Add me.2

RN here. Worked on Med-Surg, MICU forever, and now Interventional Radiology (It's totally the life!). I've worked rotating day/night shifts, full time days, full time nights, and now 9 hour days with on-call shifts. Hospital hours totally wreck my mind and body sometimes.4

@CharlieBeansmomTracey Don't sell yourself short! I used to be a Pharmacy Tech about 10 years ago, but I could walk into a Pharmacy today and still know all the meds, etc. You never forget!

you may not forget but every year things change. new studies come out,etc. its not the same now as it was 20 years ago.new meds come out, new diseases and so on. I worked mainly with the elderly though.0 -
I work out patient cardiology as NP. Not easy to get in a workout when you come home mentally drained. Trying my best to work out early am before work, usually be 6am0

@newmeadow All I was trying to say is that she is still a very intelligent woman. It was a compliment. I believe that, retired or not, she would still be a great friend to @AprilRN10 as she's been there, and understands the stress involved in nursing. I was not trying to convince @CharlieBeansmomTracey to go back into nursing. Calm down. Michelle 1

Feel free to add me. I'm a Physical Therapist, you would think that means I'd be extremely active but my job is rather sedentary (I work in the home health setting). I use to be active with sports, running, hiking etc. but I think I let some of the stress of work get to me over the past couple years. Unfortunately work comes home with me more often than I would like making squeezing in exercise a challenge. I'm sure many of you can relate in similar ways. I'm always looking for more MFP friends to help support me.1

I work 12 hour shifts, so I don't work out on those days. But I do every day I don't work. Five am or so before bed.0 -
