So balancing nursing and nutrition. A hateful task. In my 25 years as a registered nurse, I've done a lot of shift work. Not as much as some, but still, I know the pull to the vending machine at 0100 and the desperate toast at 0500 that is all about survival and nothing to do with nutrition. We know lifestyle choices make a profound difference to our likelihood to acquire chronic disease. What we can't seem to agree on is what those lifestyle choice are. Anne Evans-Murray holds that tension brilliantly. As nurses, we have all held that tension: there's an evidence-based line we must hold yet our intuition tells us another truth. And it's not for nothing. A recent peer-reviewed study revealed that nursing intuition is as reliable as any vital sign, and should be considered the fifth vital sign. This challenging interview from Sue reveals a conflicted yet profound message about nutrition and nursing. How do we manage our own nutrition, given our perilous carcinogenic journey with night shift work. And what message do we send to our patients when educating them. Sue gets into just that with Anne in this podcast.
