Caretakers – and issues with schedules

Public Group 7 years ago

Nurses, CNAs, etc. all typically work 12 hour shifts, many times without taking time to go potty, eat, or relax. What are some of the things you do to make sure you eat a meal and take care of yourself on those long days?

I also work many hours and I think my fatigue leads me to eating things that are not in my best interest.
