Thanks to Hugh for coming on the show.  This was a personal episode to me because I have a long way to go to build more will power and healthy habits.

I think as nurses our lives are built around habit.   It can be so easy to let bad habits overtake our lives and guide us into unproductive states.  The tips shared in this episode will help you develop strong habits as a student, nurse, and just in life in general.
