If you work 12s, come romanticize fall with me 🍂🤎 If you work 12s, come romanticize fall with me 🍂🤎 Because there’s really nothing romantic about waking up at 5 AM to go work a 12 hour shift 🤪 But I also don’t want to spend the next few months just getting through my work days and waiting for my days off. So I’m starting a little series: Romanticizing Fall as a Nurse ✨ Early mornings, work days, days off, cozy meals, workouts, recovery days, morning coffee… just finding little ways to make this season feel good even when life is busy 🤍 Because working 12s is a big part of my life, but I don’t want it to feel like my whole life. So here’s to making the most of fall, even when half of it is spent at the hospital 🥰 #nurses #nursing #12hourshifts #fall #nurselife
I spent years trying to fit a “normal” fitness rou I spent years trying to fit a “normal” fitness routine into a schedule that was anything but normal 😅 If I could go back and tell myself a few things when I first started working 12s… You do NOT need to work out on workdays. Meal prep doesn’t need to take up your entire day off either. Keep it simple or utilize the crockpot!! Fall is here and this is literally the perfect time for easy crockpot meals 🙌🏻 Getting 15k steps running around the hospital is great, but it’s not the same as strength training. And sometimes sleep needs to win. If the choice is cutting your sleep short just to squeeze in a workout before a 12-hour shift… get the extra sleep. The biggest thing I wish I understood though was to look at consistency across the ENTIRE week instead of judging myself day by day. - Did you get your workouts in throughout the week? - How was your nutrition overall? - What did your sleep average look like? Not every single day needs to check every box ☑️   Some days are for work. Some days are for training. Some days you need more rest. Look at the whole week 👏🏻 If you work 12s and struggle with fitness and nutrition around your shifts, comment NURSE FREEBIE and I’ll send you my free guide 🤍 #nurses #workout #fitness #fitnessfornurses
12 hour shift priorities 🤪 Did I eat? Did I drink 12 hour shift priorities 🤪 Did I eat? Did I drink enough water? Have I peed today? Also, how much caffeine is too much caffeine? 🤔 #nurses #nurselife #12hourshift #healthcareworker #nursesofig
There was no way we were getting married without L There was no way we were getting married without Leo there 🤍 But getting a 90 lb Lab from California to Connecticut was a whole different story 😂 He obviously couldn’t fly with me on a regular commercial flight, and I personally wasn’t comfortable putting him in cargo. I stressed about how we were going to get him there for MONTHS. Then I found @flyretrievair 🥹🩷 Leo got to fly across the country in the cabin with me the entire way. He hung out right by my feet, got bathroom breaks during our layovers and obviously had plenty of treats on board 👏🏻 I’ve had Leo for over 11 years and he’s been right by my side through so many seasons. There was just no way I could picture getting married without him there too 🫶🏻 So so grateful we found RetrievAir and were able to bring our boy with us 🐾✈️ #retrievair #sponsored #wedding #dogsofig #dogsofinstagram
I’ve talked about this a lot, but one of the bigge I’ve talked about this a lot, but one of the biggest changes I’ve made over the last few years is simply doing less 👏🏻 Especially when I was working 12 hour shifts, I felt like I always had to be doing something. Working out before work, getting my steps, doing cardio, trying to fit everything in even when I was exhausted. Now I look at things SO differently! On work days, sleep is the priority. I don’t work out. I don’t stress about getting a certain number of steps. I focus on my nutrition, get through my shift and go home and rest✨ On my days off, I lift, walk more and have more time to focus on myself 🤍 I’ve lost weight without adding a ton of cardio or constantly pushing myself to do more. And probably more importantly, I don’t feel like I’m living in constant fight or flight anymore. Slowing down has been just as important for me as the workouts and nutrition have been. More isn’t always better, especially when your job already takes so much out of you. ✨ 2 Spots Open for Online Coaching This Month! ✨ DM “COACHING” and I’ll send you all the details! #nurse #12hourshifts #fatloss #workouts #nursing
A reminder for the nurse who is always taking care A reminder for the nurse who is always taking care of everyone else 🤍 Your job is important. But so are you. You don’t have to earn your meals. You don’t have to feel guilty for resting. You don’t have to work out every day. You don’t have to pick up every extra shift. And you don’t have to run yourself into the ground to be a good nurse. You spend so much of your time taking care of other people. You’re allowed to take care of yourself too. Take the rest day. Get some sleep. Eat enough. Say no to the extra shift when you need to. You can care about your job and still make yourself a priority 👏🏻 #nurselife #working12s #nursefitness #restdays #nursehealth
