Summer of Grapefruit Health

Week 5: Squeeze the Most Out of Summer

This Summer is About You

Summer gives you something rare: space to grow on your own terms. Whether you're between semesters or getting ready for your first clinical rotation, this season is a chance to build your confidence, strengthen your voice, and move one step closer to the kind of nurse you want to be.

At Grapefruit Health, we connect nursing students to flexible, remote clinical roles where you can speak with real patients, develop meaningful care skills, and stay grounded in your “why.”

And here in The Peel, we’ve got your back all summer long — with career advice, mindset tips, NCLEX prep, and tools to help you feel ready for the real world of nursing.

Let’s squeeze the most out of it. 🍊

Wellness that Works 🌸

Wellness is more than mindfulness—it’s the multiple small choices you make every day that support your ability to care. Nursing students who regularly prioritize sleep, movement, nutrition, and hydration report better focus, stress resilience, and energy on shift.

This summer, try building these healthy habits to prepare for the school year ahead:

• Aim for 6–8 hours of sleep each night

• Take a 10-minute walk or stretch during study breaks

• Sip water consistently - carry a reusable bottle

• Eat balanced snacks (think fruit + nuts or yogurt + berries)

These simple habits don’t require a lot of time—they just need to become reliable. And when you take care of yourself, you’re better able to care for others.

Question of the Week 📚

For a Little Laugh 🤸‍♀️

Some days, the nursing grind is a lot. And when the caffeine wears off or your care plan changes unexpectedly… sometimes the best medicine really is laughter. We saved you the scroll:
