The Ashley O Show: Nursing Beyond the Bedside
The Ashley O Show is a space where nurses and caregivers come together to understand that their identity extends beyond the humans that they care for. Where the hardest workers in the room can have honest and authentic conversations about what is holding them back and the changes needed to move forward. I am here to help you fit nutrition, fitness, and self-care into a life built around 12 hour shifts. It doesn’t have to be complicated, it’s definitely going to be scary, and it’s also going to be more beautiful than you ever imagined.
So it’s time we commit to putting ourselves first, chasing uncertainty, and building stronger lives, careers, bodies, and minds then we thought was possible. So grab a hot cup of tea, settle in, and let's change our lives.
The Ashley O Show: Nursing Beyond the Bedside
283. Where the heck do you START when you're trying to get healthy as a nurse? (And should nursing students regret their choice?)
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?"
