My 12-hour shift essentials ✨ Let’s be honest… ge My 12-hour shift essentials ✨ Let’s be honest… getting through a 12-hour shift takes more than just coffee 😅 These are the things you’ll almost always find in my work bag: ✨ Oath Nutrition electrolytes — because sometimes I get sick of drinking plain water all day. They help add some flavor while replenishing electrolytes during long shifts. 🥣 Overnight oats — my favorite grab-and-go breakfast that actually keeps me full. ☕ Coffee — truly my favorite part of the morning. 🍫 Aloha protein bars — easy to keep at my desk or throw in my bag when I need something quick between meetings or tasks. 💧 Stanley cup — because having a water bottle with a straw and a lid makes it so much easier for me to stay hydrated throughout the day. 🍱 Meal prep — life has been crazy lately, and having meals ready to go keeps me from spending hours in the kitchen during the week. 🍿 Drizzlicious — my current sweet snack obsession. These little things make busy shift days feel a whole lot easier 🤍 What are your long day essentials? #nurselife #nurseessentials #12hourshift #healthcareworker #mealprep
Nurse meal prep doesn’t have to be complicated 🤍 Nurse meal prep doesn’t have to be complicated 🤍 If you’re working back-to-back 12s and trying to have some sort of life outside of work, this series is for you. A few things I swear by: ✨ Use your crockpot. Throw in a protein, set it, and let it do the work while you actually enjoy your day off. ✨ Keep frozen veggies on hand. They’re affordable, easy, and save so much time. No chopping, no waste. ✨ Stop overcomplicating meals. A protein, a carb, and a fruit or veggie is more than enough. You don’t need a Pinterest-worthy meal prep with 47 ingredients. The goal isn’t to spend all day in the kitchen. The goal is to have meals ready that make your busy week easier. And honestly? Meal prep works a lot better when you’re actually excited to eat what you made 👏🏻 I’m kicking off a new meal prep series for nurses, and next week I’m sharing one of my favorite summer pasta salad recipes ☀️ #nurselife #mealprepfornurses #12hourshifts #healthynurse #nursefitness mealprepideas busygirlmealprep nursetok easymealprep

The secret to surviving 12-hour shifts isn’t more The secret to surviving 12-hour shifts isn’t more coffee ☕️ It’s strength training. I know it sounds backwards. You’d think adding workouts on top of long shifts would leave you even more exhausted… but honestly, it’s usually the opposite. ✨ More energy during hour 10 when everyone else is dragging ✨ More strength for lifting, repositioning, and all the physical demands of the job ✨ Better sleep and recovery between shifts The gym isn’t just another thing on your to-do list. It’s the thing that makes everything else feel easier. As nurses, our bodies are one of the biggest tools we use every single day. Strength training is one of the best ways to take care of them.

What I thought being healthy as a nurse looked lik What I thought being healthy as a nurse looked like… ✔️ Meal prepping every single Sunday ✔️ Never missing a workout ✔️ Saying no to every break room treat ✔️ Being “on track” all the time Basically… being perfect. The problem? That version of healthy was exhausting. And honestly, it wasn’t sustainable when you’re working long shifts, picking up overtime, dealing with life, and trying to keep up with everything else. Now, being healthy looks a lot different. ✨ Eating something before my shift instead of skipping meals ✨ Moving my body when I can, not because I think I have to ✨ Prioritizing protein and hydration more often than not ✨ Giving myself grace during the hard weeks instead of starting over every Monday Health isn’t about being perfect. It’s about having habits you can actually stick with when life gets busy. And if we’re being honest… life as a nurse is almost always a little chaotic.

Being a nurse is hard... You want to work less bu Being a nurse is hard... You want to work less but pick up extra shifts for the money. You avoid night shift... but sometimes it feels like that’s the only way to get your foot in the door. You want to prioritize your workouts, but 12 hours on your feet drains you. You try to eat healthy, but end up grabbing whatever’s quick between admissions, call lights, and charting. You tell yourself you’ll rest on your days off... then feel guilty when you actually do😒 A lot of nurses feel like they’re constantly stuck between taking care of everyone else and trying to take care of themselves too💕 This is your reminder: You do not have to do everything perfectly to still make progress👏🏻 Some seasons look like meal prep, workouts, and hitting every goal. Other seasons look like surviving the week, drinking enough water, and getting to bed early after a long shift. Both count🤍 #nursesofig #nursecoaching #nursesofinstagram #healthandwellnesscoach
