Nice.. so how do your workout day splits looks like? I know most of us work 8-12 hour shifts or even longer. Just wondering

[kirst3101]

I'm an RN. It's taken me a long time to figure out a workout/eating schedule that works for this kind of job, especially since I work mostly nightshifts. I love my job though!

Keep up the good work fellow health professionals!

When school is in session, I usually do maintenance.
And during the summer I hit it hard, lift heavy and do the majority of my bulk at this time.

Meals i always plan ahead of time, it may seem time consuming, but in reality its not. You can do it, good luck in school and your goals!

what's the recomended day per weeks to work out

[Dr.Dave1]

Resident in Neurosurgery here

I started a bodygroup for Health Professionals a while ago . . . here's the link http://groups.bodybuilding.com/Health_Professionals

[decreebass]

I'm working on going to PA school, too.

Yea, I work 12s at the aid station and I usually get at least an hour to go pump iron. I was originally just trying to get cut, but now I'm trying to get large THEN cut. My doc is a former pro bodybuilder turned Army officer. He is still a bodybuilder; his office looks like a medical library and a GNC crashed into eachother on the highway...

[petemorgan]

Although I wouldn't call myself a bodybuilder... I am a pharmacist.


EDIT - When the hell does a Neurosurgery postdoc have time for working out???

[Bran2012]

I'm new to the site as of today. But to answer your question, yes I'm RN 15yrs now. If I can be of any assistance just give me a holler.

As a resident my hours vary from 60 to 100 hours per week (max hrs is 88 averaged over 4 wks), it's challenging at time but I make it a priority. Although I do have little empathy for people who complain about not having enough time to work out.

[PKollman]

I'm an Emt.

[nadia41]

Radiologist fresh out of residency here.

To the neurosurgery resident--is 88 hours the new rule? We had an 80 hour rule, and we lied every week about how many hours we really worked.

[Dr.Dave1]

80 is the standard but a program can apply for an extra 8hrs per week for "educational experiences" aka more work

[M0tibation]

I work in the lab at the hospital and absolutely love my job. I'm a nursing student currently and plan on doing PA school afterwards.

I'm a certified EMT also but I have not done anything with it.

Sounds similar to "home call." Are you at the University of Utah? I can't imagine another hospital in UT big enough to support neurosurgery residency. My biggest regret has been not going to med school in UT. I was a liftie at Alta back in the day, and should have stayed there for school.

I'm in a program out east but I am doing a year of training out here (with the University of Utah) as part of my residency to get some variety

That's awesome, wish I could have done that. All my staff & co residents were getting on my nerves after 4 years, I couldn't get out of residency fast enough. Hope you're able to enjoy some of SLC on your off days, after you catch up on sleep. The duty hour talk reminds me of why I left surgery. Good luck with everything dude.
