283. Where the heck do you START when you're trying to get healthy as a nurse? (And should nursing students regret their choice?)

The Ashley O Show: Nursing Beyond the Bedside

Monday's are for YOUR questions! I was recently answering a really good question in my DMs and thought to myself: "why don't I answer this on the podcast?" It was then that I realized that I get SO many excellent questions from you all in my DMs, on my stories, and from my clients directly - and we are going to start answering them LIVE here on the podcast, so we can all share the knowledge!
- Ask YOUR question RIGHT HERE for me answer LIVE on the show!
Today's questions:

• Megan - "I don’t know where to start when it comes to building healthy habits. My weight has been creeping up since I became a nurse 5 years ago, and it feels like it’s just an inevitable thing that happens in healthcare. I don’t feel like myself anymore but nothing I try seems to stick. Help!"
  
• Ashley - "I graduate from nursing school in May and I am starting to get really scared about joining the profession. All I see on TikTok is how bad nursing is and how miserable people are. They all seem to tell you not to become a nurse. Should I be regretting my choice?"
