1. Rest well beforehand 😴
Ideally, you want to get about 7-9 hours of sleep the day or night before your shift begins. If you have multiple shifts in a day, ensure you create time for a 20-minute power nap 💪 between shifts.
2. Eat well 🥦🍳
Eating a well-balanced meal before your shift is key to maintaining your energy level for the shift. Packing snacks is also a good way to ensure you always have something to eat if you can’t take a full break.
3. Stay hydrated 💦
Drink lots of water BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER your shift.
4. Exercise frequently 🚴♂️
Doing even the simplest of exercises can be helpful to improve your:
ALERTNESS, CONCENTRATION, MEMORY, METABOLISM, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STAMINA.
5. Get nutrient supplements 🍄☀️
Always consult with your health practitioner to figure out what areas you might need supplements for. A standardized multi-vitamin that provides you with the recommended vitamins and minerals for the average adult can be a good addition to boost your immunity and nutritional health.
6. Always have an extra set of scrubs available, in case of emergencies!
