Comment “NURSE FREEBIE” for my FREE guide to help Comment “NURSE FREEBIE” for my FREE guide to help you get started with your health and fitness as a busy nurse! ✨ You don’t need to spend hours in the gym, eat 1,200 calories a day, or completely change your life to see progress. Especially when you’re working 12-hour shifts… Here’s where I would start: 1. Follow a structured workout program. Stop doing random workouts every time you go to the gym. Having a plan and focusing on getting stronger over time is what will help you see progress. 2. Plan workouts on your days OFF. You don’t need to force yourself to the gym after a 12-hour shift. I personally prefer working out on my days off when I have more time and energy! 3. Stop skipping meals at work. I know how crazy shifts can get, but going all day without eating isn’t doing you any favors. Plan ahead, pack your meals, and make sure you’re fueling your body throughout the day. 4. Prioritize 7–9 hours of sleep. Your recovery matters just as much as your workouts. If you’re constantly running on little sleep, that’s one of the first things I would work on. 5. Eat MORE than 1,200 calories a day. You’re on your feet for 12+ hours AND trying to work out. Your body needs enough food to support your activity, energy, and recovery! At the end of the day, it comes down to getting consistent with the basics. Having a plan for your workouts, eating enough, and prioritizing sleep can make such a difference in your progress. You also don’t need to do everything perfectly, just find a routine that works with your nursing schedule and that you can stick to 👏🏻 Save this for later and send it to a nurse who needs the reminder! 🤍 #nurselife #nursesofig #healthylifestyle #fitnesscoaching
NURSES, SAVE THIS for your next stretch of 12-hour NURSES, SAVE THIS for your next stretch of 12-hour shifts ✨ One of the biggest things that helped me lose 20 pounds and keep it off while working long shifts? Staying consistent with my nutrition! And a huge part of that has been setting myself up for success BEFORE my work week even starts… A few things I do every week: - Plan my meals ahead of time so I know exactly what I’m eating during my shifts - Keep meals simple! I love using my crockpot and making easy recipes that don’t take forever to prep - Have plenty of easy, grab-and-go snacks on hand for busy days. Some of my favorites include protein bars, overnight oats, egg bites, hummus and veggies, Greek yogurt, hard boiled eggs, & pre made protein shakes Because when you’re working 12-hour shifts, the last thing you want is to rely on cafeteria food, breakroom snacks, or takeout every day 💯 Meal prep doesn’t have to be complicated or take up your entire day. A little planning goes a long way when it comes to staying consistent with your nutrition 🤍 NURSES! Want my FREE guide to help you prioritize your health while working long shifts?

Nurses, you don’t always have to be doing MORE to Nurses, you don’t always have to be doing MORE to be doing enough 🤍 I feel like we live in a society where we’re constantly being told to do more, work harder, and stay busy. And I think this is especially true in healthcare! Pick up the extra shift. Get another certification. Work overtime. Keep pushing yourself. And while there’s nothing wrong with wanting to grow in your career, it’s also OKAY to slow down. It’s okay to say no to the extra shift, take a rest day, prioritize your health, fitness, and nutrition, or simply enjoy your day off without feeling guilty. Because there’s so much more to life than working and constantly checking things off your to-do list. You deserve to have the energy to actually ENJOY your life outside of work, too 🤍 What’s one thing you’re making more time for OUTSIDE of work lately? 👇🏻 #nursesofig #nurselife #wellness #healthandfitness #nursesofinstagram
SAVE this one for your next stretch of 12-hour shi SAVE this one for your next stretch of 12-hour shifts! ✨ Welcome back to episode 5 of romanticizing fall as a nurse! 🤎 After working a 12-hour shift, the LAST thing I want to do is come home and cook dinner, which is why I love having meals like this ready to go for the workweek! This high-protein crockpot chili is SO easy to make, packed with protein and fiber, and makes enough for leftovers throughout the week 🙌🏼 HIGH-PROTEIN CROCKPOT BEEF CHILI Ingredients (8 servings): - 32 oz fire-roasted tomatoes - 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained - 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained - 1 cup diced white onion - 1 package lean ground beef (or ground turkey!) - 16 oz chunky salsa - 1 cup water - Cumin - Chili powder - Garlic powder - Crushed red pepper - Cayenne pepper - Sriracha Directions: 1. Brown your ground beef on the stovetop and drain any excess fat. 2. Add the beef and all remaining ingredients to your crockpot. 3. Season to taste! I love a little extra spice. 4. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours. 5. Top with avocado or plain Greek yogurt for some extra protein! And just like that, dinner is taken care of for the next few days! 👏🏼 One thing I’ve learned from working 12-hour shifts is that making healthy eating easier on yourself makes SUCH a difference. You don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen to have nutritious meals ready to go.

If you told me 10 years ago that I’d be going back If you told me 10 years ago that I’d be going back to school at 35, getting married at 37, and still not have kids yet, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. I think we all grow up with this idea of how our lives are supposed to look by a certain age. And when things don’t happen on that timeline, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind. But the older I get, the more I realize there really is no timeline. I’m 37, finishing up my master’s degree, recently married, and still have so many things I want to experience and accomplish. Life might not look exactly how I pictured it in my 20s, but that doesn’t mean I’m behind. Just a little reminder that you’re not late to accomplish your goals 🤍 #life #nurse #mastersdegree #marriage
