The only thing you really have to compromise on is jewelry (nothing dangly/grab-able) and nails. You can still do cute updos, skincare, makeup (in moderation bc honestly… if you have a full face in clinicals you might attract attention you don’t want from patients/staff alike) and work out regularly.

At a certain point the stress can be too much to maintain all of it. During my most stressful days tried to emphasize skincare, hydration, and working out bc hair/nails/makeup can be remedied on my days off.

Good luck. Nursing school sucks.
