if you are a nurse or know nurses, do you / they feel sore after each shift? (linux.community)

a normal shift to me means not having a 30 minute pause, but being constantly moving. If you are lucky, you can pause for 3 minutes and drink coffee or juice when nobody is looking.

I finish every shift with sore muscles. Am I the only one?

I worked a desk job for 20 years, then suddenly shifted careers and was on my feet ask day and constantly moving and walking and lifting. It was tiring but my body got used to it and I invested in good shoes and insoles, and I ended up getting in the best shape of my life.

Then I moved and I started working as a cashier and I can't stand it, no pun intended. Standing in one spot is 100x worse and I dread every day that I have to go in to work. If all goes well, I'll be switching jobs soon. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
