To be a nurse you have to get educated for a few years. In The Netherlands, were I live, that’s 4 years of education either at full time at school or as an employee in a hospital with avery month 2 days of school. For me it was being an employee for 2 years in one hospital and another 3 years in a different hospital. In The Netherlands if you are an employee you have first to do a 9 month teaching program to learn the basics and after that you do several internships at different wards in the hospital you work for.

But fear not, we’ve put together a beginner’s guide to understanding (and using!) it.

Exercising is something that nurses do the entire shift. It is free from the ‘boss’ and it can be done on work time.

More hours, means more exercise. Bootcamp is nothing compared with a career in nursing!
