    I totally understand. I'm a nurse and while working I let my health slide due to the hours and stress of the job. I actually quit working at the beginning of the year and lost 20 pounds and am the healthiest/fittest I've ever been. I'll go back to work when my youngest goes to school but I'm really considering a career change.

    If we had surgical scrubs I could just change lol

    I wear surgical scrubs (cath lab)

    Spilled coffee? Go change
    Splattered in blood? Go change
    Sweated in your leads through an extra long case? Go change

    Love it. Except for the whole baggy pyjama look.

    Nurse here. I try to take the stairs between floors and avoid the elevators (unless escorting a pt). I also keep healthy snacks in my locker and always pack my lunch with easy quick foods. When I take the stairs I'll take them two at a time. I know what you mean about not wanting to be sweaty in your scrubs. I'm lucky enough to wear black ones and always keep tank tops underneath. I try and do a 20-40 min bike ride before my shift because lord knows afterwards I'm beat and chasing my 3 kiddos around for school, football, and dance. Good luck!
