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?

Friend works in a pet shop, and other than being able to briefly sit down during she's 100% on her feet. I have no clue how people survive it, huge respect. You get used to it of course, but it seems normal to be sore for the first year or so.

I worked retail for several years. After a while it just becomes normal. It helps a LOT if you're actually walking around and not just standing in one spot.

I can walk for a few miles without sitting down without being uncomfortable at all, but standing in one spot for 15 minutes bothers my feet.
