Do you think RN's should be fit?

Question

They're telling people probably daily about living a healthy lifestyle, but they don't. I find it hypocritical and believe they should be fit or close to. What do you think?

Answer

Why are you so pressed about what type of body someone else has? 😩 I didn't know that extremely healthy and fit people were the only ones allowed to give health related advice!

Answer

It's no ones business how they live their personal lives. They're doing their job which is to advise you medically. They're not personal trainers. Also you can't tell how healthy someone is on their appearance. I know plenty of bigger people that eat healthier than me, I just look "fit" because I happen to have a fast metabolism. 
Also, I know plenty of doctors who drink soda every day and shit like that. 
This is body shaming. It's none of your business. And this is not ok.

Answer

Personal decision doesn't matter what your job is

Answer

You have no idea what's going on in someone else's life! People take medications that make them gain a ton of weight! My brother is on lithium and other meds for bipolar. Before he was diagnosed he was a super skinny. After he is now over 200 pounds and it's hard to get off. MAOS and SSRIS also pa k a ton of weight on people! Like hundreds of pounds not to mention others have thyroid problems which make it hard for people to lose weight. I myself went on depo shot and gained 60 pounds without changing my diet or exercise routine and I was active! 6 years later and it's STILL hard to lose it.

Plus is fat really the worst thing you can be in life? I don't think so. I've known some pretty terrible people in my life time. My biological father is  rapist. My mother was the only person who care about me and she died when I was 19. I had people tell me that the things I went through weren't true. I've had people who I thought were my friends call me crazy because they knew my family history. I would rather be fat than an asshole who makes others feel bad about themselves. You never know what people are struggling with.

Answer

While I'm not a nurse, I'm a vet tech- so an animal nurse. I spend a lot of time on my feet in just a small size Veterinary Clinic, I can only imagine what nurses have to do in large hospitals.

IMO, they should be fit to some extent. Enough where walking shouldn't be a real struggle for a while until your body naturally gets fatigued. Heavier people tend to have knee/ankle/foot issues because of the extra weight centered on the joint, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be a good career choice if you're over a certain weight.
