Is Nursing Making You Sick, Fat and Old? Annette Tersigni “The Yoga Nurse”, RN

As nurses, you are certainly aware that stress is one of the major medical problems of our times.  Studies show that nurses are the single sickest group of workers in the workforce.  Ouch!  This is appalling. When I worked nights in the PCU, I noticed that there were many more obese nurses working nights than days.  What have you observed?   In my experience, I have noticed that without exception, obese nurses apply to work nights. They want to work nights. These dedicated, long term night shift nurses also are on multiple meds and often discuss how many meds they are on, compare them, etc.  What strikes me is that they speak about it in such a way as if it’s the most natural thing in the world.  Please understand, I am writing this out of compassion for my fellow nurses, not as a critique.  I am telling the truth, and yes, sometimes the truth hurts.  We all know by now that working nights increases your risk for disease.

A nurse is the classic poster child for, “Is this job making me sick?”

Rita Batchley @thenursesnurse:"The Nurses Nurse is the pen name for Rita Batchley, an RN, and healthcare activist who wants you to be aware of the healthcare injustices that are occurring everyday, and the real-life role registered nurses play to save you from disaster. After reading her novel, Labor Pains, you will understand the truth behind insurance companies and what you can do about it. People trust that RNs care. For the seventh year in a row, the Gallop poll ranked nurses highest as the most trusted profession. Now,with the advent of healthcare reform, nurses will have even greater challenges seeing that patients get the kind of treatment they need, as well as protection from serious harm. Remember: A doctor will admit you to the hospital but it's the nurse who will make sure you get to go home."
