if you are a nurse or know nurses, do you / they feel sore after each shift? (linux.community)

a normal shift to me means not having a 30 minute pause, but being constantly moving. If you are lucky, you can pause for 3 minutes and drink coffee or juice when nobody is looking.

I finish every shift with sore muscles. Am I the only one?

I had this when I was at my old working place ( nurse for elderly care) after every shift. Went on a hiatus on nursing for a year . Now, I work in an intensive care unit with 9 people total living here, with tracheostoma. I have to take care of 3 people in a 12 hour shift. No more sore muscles!
