I would love some support while trying to take off all this extra weight! Shift work has confused my body! Don't know when to eat when flip flopping back and forth from nights to days!!!???

    I finally just set my alarm for five meals a day. My husbands hates the 6am wake up on my days off. But I feel better on my schedule. Only thing that helps with that crazy RN schedule.

    I'm not a nurse but I've been a patient more times than I care to remember. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    I am new here and a RN. Crazy schedule and eating when you can. I drink to much diet pop. Started that when I worked third shift.

    hi, I was an RN for many years, now in another 'helping' profession and I have the same problem :) time to put our own health needs first.

    Also a shift working nurse here trying to lose weight! I work 2days, 2nights, then 5 off! I find my nights are harder than days! Would love to hear what other nurses do?
