Happy Nurses week! Nurses: Advocating, Leading, Caring

It's time we cared for ourselves, isn't it? Who out there is a Nurse? I am an RN, past SICU and now in Case Management. This is the time that I am caring for myself, to become healthy, fit, slim, and strong.

    our job is so demanding, sometimes we forget or don't have time to eat our lunch. If we are not well mentally and physically we cannot take good care of others. Happy nurses week:love:

    Hello from Massachusetts! :smile: I've been a nurse at MGH for 9 years, and I work in the Cardiac Surgical Step-Down Unit. I decided to get into shape before my co-workers have to take care of me. Good luck in your weight loss efforts!

    I'm an RN on an Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit in San Antonio, TX.

    Happy Nurses Week to all nurses on MFP!!

    I agree with the other poster as nurses we often forget about ourselves, at times skipping lunches or quickly grabbing something unhealthy, even though we know we should make a better choice.

    Lets all support one another through our journeys to lose weight and get healthy!

    Nurses feel free to add me so we can support each other!

    How fitting that Nurses' Week is celebrated around the same time as Mother's day. To all nurses who nurture, care and comfort under the most difficult circumstances, I say "thank you and God bless you"!

    I have been a nurse for nearly 20 years and have enjoyed different roles throughout my career. I am currently working towards my Master's degree.

    Happy nurses week,:flowerforyou: you are all very special.

    Happy Nurse's Week! Been an RN for 20 years. I now do utilization review for an insurance company because it gives me the flexibility to be with my 4 year old more and I am a telecommuter. Have a home office and just have to go to the hospital for several hours. Works out great for my family. That's the great thing about being a nurse, lots of different options!
