10 Tips For Surviving The 12-Hour Shift

We all know that nursing is both a challenging and rewarding career. Working in a 12-hour hospital shift is an inevitable part of the “challenging” category.
Though nurses have been used to this kind of set-up, sleep deprivation and fatigue (1) could be detrimental both for the nurse’s health and also for her patients’ safety. There are surprisingly few studies describing how shift work is associated with diet and weight-related conditions.
Shift work has been associated with increased body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein. In other words, metabolic syndrome.
But according to a Lippincott’s Nursing Center journal, there are proven ways to keep nurses in their best shape despite the mandatory 12-hour shift that they have to withstand.
Here are the 10 tips for the 12-hour shift survival:
Some of the tips include:
Follow a Mediterranean-style eating plan 
Make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D  
Get enough sleep   
Stay hydrated

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
