I'm an RN!

I work full time med/surg and part time nursing home. Add me if you like! I've been here about four months and I've lost 35 pounds.

It's nice to see all the nurses!! I'm an ER nurse for 11 years... the first 10 on night shift. The back and forth of trying to stay up all night and then fall back in to a daytime schedule for my family did a number on my body and health. Finally on a day shift and a consistant schedule and starting to lose and feeling good.

To the OP... I'm sure the reason you were drawn to nursing is your personality to take care of others and put others first BUT just like you I am learning that it is OK to take care of yourself too and put yourself first sometimes

I have been a nurse for the past 2 years on PCU and moving to ER next week (moving from working 1 hour away to 12 minutes away!). Excited and scared at the same time. Feel free to add me! I have plenty to lose!

I am an RN working in labour and delivery, just graduated this year. I do days and nights, but I really packed on the pounds in nursing school, I've got about 25 to lose, and a lot of muscle to gain, feel free to add me

Been an RN (Australian) for 13 years, with 12 of those years spent in ICU. Couldn't do any other job!

Hi, I am a Practice Nurse, and have been nursing for 25 years.One of the things I currently do is health assessments for 45-49 y olds. Finding myself giving nutrition advice when I am classed as morbidly obese was not only hypocritical, also uninspiring, so I have joined a local gym and am recording everything I eat. It is great to see so many nurses on here.

I am a pharmacy technician finishing classes at a community college trying to get into the nursing program. I knew I was meant to be a nurse when I took care of my mom for 3 months before she passed this may from cancer, I only have the second course of anatomy left. I would love to have as many nursing friends on here as possible to help with there journey and mine, feel free to add me.

Glad to see all the nurses! I've been an RN for about 22 years now, 20 of them working in transplant. I'd love to have some MFP nurse friends, so anyone can ad me.
