Riverview, MI

As a nursing student who has done clinical so far, I notice how it already takes a toll on my body. My family thinks I will be okay and get stronger by me eating healthy and working out. I understand what they are saying, but if I constantly go to the gym, my body feels exhausted, and I sleep almost all day if I can.

Where do you want to work when your done with school? A nursing home, for me that is, is less stressfull than a hospital. You could also work with newborns, or become a, i dont know the english word, a nurse who makes sure the delivery of a baby goes smoothly.

Dont overdo it with exercises atm, but make sure you eat well.
You can change you day exercise wise by taking the stairs, stop earlier than you busstop to walk, or go with a bike.

Its hard, i had difficulties to when i was in nursing school to, but when you have landed your job, you can work around your scedule for exercises. Youll need to change your diet up a bit than, but bot by much.

I hope i said something usefull and will help you
