Why are women who deliver front line health care in hospitals and allied health services, are generally obese?

I'm talking about nurses. You'd think that the knowledge gained during their training would invoke some sort of sense of self awareness of dietary issues.

Some people are fat/overweight due to a genetic issue, not necessarily dietary. This bloke I used to work with was obese. He never ate breakfast or lunch, only dinner. And he wouldn't go overboard on that either.

Shift workers very often do not enjoy a healthy diet.

What did Jehovah witness???

The name refers to witnesses (ie followers) of Jehovah, not something that Jehovah witnessed. Jehovah is a latinisation of the Hebrew name for God, Yahweh.

Why don't female catwalk models have tits?

They get in the way.

Probably due to them not visiting you enough to get fresh veggies would be my assumption.

I dunno I work in hospitals and there's not many fat nurses around that i've experienced.

Some sure, but not that many.

Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit but there seems to be a higher proportion of overweight nurses than in most other professions.

Other factors could be public v private hospitals and the socio-economic state of where the hospital is located.

I can see the amusing irony in doctors nurses etc being overweight and advising others of lifestyle choices, but i mean they're just people too and they're susceptible to the same desires that we are.

good mate of mine is an ICP and smokes like a chimney, haha

If you ate pasta and antipasta, would you still be hungry?

Looks more like a kid's cubby house...

...or Amin Yashed's time out room.

P.S - I just realized something...."I'm in your shed". How slow of me.

Realised with a zee?

We dont have auto correct.

Do you like my new shed?

I even invited Vonny over.

Really?

When I typed "realised", a "zed" replaced the "ess" automatically in the above post.

Strangely enough, it didn't do it this time. Confused...

I assume you are using Google Chrome as your browser, it has spell checkers and auto correct if you are on a smart phone. All depends on your settings.

I get what you're saying but not always.

Was in JH in Newcastle. The icu cardiac ward, the hottest nurse ever.

Hi Ash, if you're reading this. You haven't called me yet!

I tend to agree as well. Most nurses I've come across whilst injured in hospital have been half decent to gorgeous. In my age group anyhow.

I believe I'm a banker now, so probably rolling in it.
