HealthcareHealth and Wellness Management3MediumRegistered Nurse (RN)$ implied
A hospital RN working 12-hour rotating shifts struggles to maintain consistent, healthy eating habits due to exhaustion, lack of time, and the demands of shift work.
Traditional meal prep advice assumes regular days off and energy for batch cooking, which is unrealistic for shift workers needing recovery time. Existing solutions don't account for schedule variability, exhaustion, or the need for quick, healthy options without planning.
