Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

13 Nurses, as we all know, often skip meals while they work. And, that isn't healthy. Sometimes we can scarf down a meal without chewing, and, that isn't healthy either. Those bad habits can spill over in our personal lives, too. The old saying, "chew your food at least xyz times before swallowing", is true. To avoid unpleasant GI issues or worse, we must take time during work and home to eat properly. Do you have trouble finding the time to eat healthy (if at all) at work and then carry bad habits home? What healthy ways have you found to eat at work?
"Do you have trouble finding the time to eat healthy (if at all) at work and then carry bad habits home?"NOPE.Despite the name "All Nurses," this site poorly represents America's nurses because most of the nurses that I work with are relatively healthy and not obese. Based on responses and emotional reactions to my previous posts critical of obese nurses, I have found that most people who post on this site are obese women who are easily offended at any attempt on these forums to point out their hyposcrisy. They have a book of excuses for why they weigh 300+ pounds and have bariatric charting chairs at their nursing stations, and they want all of us normal people to bow down and serve them, to spoonfeed compassion and empathy to them, to coddle them. Makes me sick. Nurses have an obligation to be healthy. JUST DO IT.

Whoa....calm down, it's just a cartoon (and website).

While I often do have trouble finding ways to eat healthy (if at all) while working, those aren't habits I carry over with me. Work is work, and even under the best of circumstances, it's not a controlled arena. Often times, lunch goes by the wayside because there are things far more important in that moment, and eating can happen just after my shift when there's a little more time.Overall, the cartoon is funny.

I have to say that most of the time, certainly on our ward, most nurses get a meal break most of the time. Sure - sometimes they might have to take a short one but they get a break all the sameI always bring my own food in so I can make sure I eat healthily - though if someone else brings in snacks to share I rarely say no!

Ignore cheezy. He's nothing but a bomb thrower, and the worst fate for that type is to get no response.

cheezwizz you are hilarious. I'm dying as I read this
