Any public health nurses out there?
I'm curious if there are any public health nurses on this board, and what they think of their job? I've very interested in the field but wanted to get some 1st hand knowledge.

I can't imagine feeling trapped in a job I don't enjoy, let alone hate. So.. folks... tell us about your…
Eating Healthy Working 12 Hour Shifts
Hello Fellow RNs, I was wondering what your meals look like on the days you work. It's not always an option to have a set meal time when working on the unit. I tend to do well about breakfast and lunch options. But when I get home for dinner, it's usually after 8 pm. I generally am in bed between 9:30 PM and 10 PM. I'm so…
Side Effects of eating healthy
Anyone have any suggestions for dealing with the GI side effects (upset stomach, gas, bloating)that come with increasing intake of fruits, veggies and fiber? I'm not interested in meds, hoping for a more natural solution.
