Welcome Home, Fellow Nurse

If you have ever eaten junk food during a 5-minute "lunch" break or skipped meals completely because "the ward was crazy today," you are not alone.” As nurses, we spend our days caring for others, but let us be honest: our own health often comes last.

I’m RN Primus Shetunyenga, and I created The Primus Method to change that. Here, you’ll find simple, actionable, and affordable nutrition strategies designed specifically for busy nurses like you.
Because you can’t pour from an empty cup, and that starts with fueling your body right.

Why I Started The Primus Method

During my nursing student days, something struck me:
90% of the senior nurses I worked with were unfit, exhausted, and relying on junk food to get through their shifts.

I get it. The stress, the 12-hour shifts, and the constant demand to “keep going” make it easy to grab quick fixes—chips, sugary snacks, or that bottomless cup of coffee. But here's the kicker: I saw firsthand how this lifestyle was silently harming their health.

I did not want to get caught in the same trap.
So, I made it my mission to find solutions—real, practical ones:

  • Meals that fit a nurse’s chaotic schedule.
  • Foods that keep you energized for back-to-back shifts.
  • Strategies that are simple, budget-friendly, and actually doable.

After testing, tweaking, and building habits that work, The Primus Method was born. And I’m sharing everything I’ve learned with you.
