I also have to find a balance between work, health and family. Working at the front desk of a gym helps me immensely in balancing my life demands. It's a very slow paced job with a lot of downtime. Therefore, I can study and do homework while getting paid from my job! I also get a free gym membership, and working out relieves my stress, keeps me healthy, and helps me sleep better at night. I will also do my best to eat a balanced diet and take the vitamins I need. I will be living with my family until I graduate, so I will always be there to continue spending time with them. Finally, I will always find time to watch my favorite TV shows or go out with my friends to distract myself from school. “A nurse experiences stress unknown to most professions” (Masters, 2017, p199). This tells me that it is essential to start these good habits now, maintain them, and carry them forward into the future to be the best nurse you can be.
