It’s my first job in healthcare and I wanted this as opposed to being a nurse. I only sat down 3 times yesterday which I know is common in nursing, so it feels like I didn't escape all the bad parts. Last night I got a heavy 7 hours of sleep, but I’m still so tired. Does your body ever acclimatise to this or will you always feel this way?

I think in time your body gets used to just about anything you do regularly. Just continue to get good sleep, stay hydrated and all that and I'm betting you'll get used to it sooner than later!

It gets easier with time! Your body does adapt, but it's important to prioritize rest, hydration, and nutrition. Regular breaks, even short ones, can help. Hang in there—you’ll build stamina!

Yes! And don't sleep in on your days off. Try to keep the same sleep and wake schedule.

Best advice here! Especially in the first couple of months. Then you can reward yourself once you adjust!

No over time your body will adjust , I've been doing health care 25 years when I first started I thought OMG but now I wouldn't change a thing, I love helping others, yes somedays I be so burnt out but it is so rewarding ❤️ I love the ER.

Did you never work as an MA before going to PA school?

I drink a lot of ice water and a small portion of something to eat every four hours it helps me keep going.

I am a retired CNA/CMT. Yes you will get used to it, but it depends upon how well you care for YOU!
I can remember icing my feet and leggs before resting with my leggs in the air hogging the fan. Lol
Wear comfortable shoes, and check YOUR feet on a regular basis.
Once the career hits your blood stream nothing else will do!

AND
thankyou for being a care giver!<3

I got my CNA license and I have yet to find aCNA job I can actually DO as a 52 year old woman I am literally unable to complete the daily tasks I am committed to by my schedule
