Life is hard… make it harder and go back to NP sch Life is hard… make it harder and go back to NP school Going back to school while working as a nurse sounded like a good idea until I actually had to balance school, work, clinical, coaching, and planning a wedding 😂 I’m in my final semester of NP school now, and I’ve definitely learned a few things along the way… If you’re a nurse thinking about going back to school (or you’re already in it), here’s my advice: - Simplify your routines. You do not need the perfect 10-step morning routine. Find a few things that make you feel good and that you can actually repeat even when life is busy. Water, coffee, a morning walk, whatever works for you. It just needs to be realistic. - Stay organized, but take it one week at a time. Looking at an entire semester at once will make you want to cry lol. I put all of my exams and big due dates on one calendar, but other than that, I focus on what needs to get done that week. - Stop expecting every week to look the same. Some weeks I have more time for the gym, meal prep, work, and coaching. Other weeks, school has to take priority. Adjust and keep going. - Find resources that make things click for YOU. YouTube, podcasts, study guides, NotebookLM, practice questions- whatever helps you actually understand the material instead of just memorizing it. - Use the random pockets of time. I’ve studied on lunch breaks, listened to lectures on my drive to work, worked on assignments whenever I had a free hour, and even done flashcards at the dentist 🤪 You make it work where you can. - Give yourself some grace. You’re probably balancing way more than just school. Not every workout will happen, not every meal will be perfectly prepped, and some weeks are just going to be harder than others. You don’t have to do everything perfectly to keep moving forward. Going back to school has easily been one of the hardest things I’ve done, especially while working and running my business, but I know why I started. And now I’m SO close to the finish line 🤍

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
