Code RED Nurse

If you know your Code Red Nurse Practitioner, you know I love serving in the community!! Shout Out to the amazing ladies of the Nu Eta Eta chapter of Chi Eta Phi 💚💛
I really enjoyed serving at “The Winning Playbook for Men’s Health” event today!
Great People, Vendors were excellent! Food, desserts and free massages!! It was wonderful! There were PSA and A1c screenings, vitals signs were checked and Vital Scorecards handed out, Dr. Bush gave a great discussion on Men’s Mental Health and much much more!

Thank you for having me ladies! 💚💛💚

❤️ Introducing Date Night Diaries ❤️

Many of you know me as Dr. Aquilla Battle, founder of Code Red Nurse, nurse practitioner, educator, mom, mentor, and wellness advocate.

But there is another part of my story that has shaped me just as much, being a wife.

Wayne and I recently celebrated 21 years of marriage and 26 years together. Through the years we’ve experienced joy, growth, challenges, laughter, and countless memories. One lesson we’ve learned is that healthy relationships require intention.

As part of Code Red Nurse Lifestyle, I’ll be sharing more of the real-life moments beyond nursing…marriage, travel, wellness, self-care, and the lessons life teaches us along the way.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

❤️ Love. Laughter. Life.

Congratulations Lyn Marshall-King! ❤️

🍤 Creamy Cajun Shrimp & Grits

Baby…THIS was good 😩🔥

Creamy grits, juicy shrimp, crispy bacon, peppers, onions, and a flavorful sauce poured right over the top. Definitely one of those meals that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Now let me put my Nurse Practitioner hat on for a second 👩🏽‍⚕️💉

Yes, this meal is high in protein (~36–39g per serving), BUT this is also a Mama Battle recipe 😂 which means we’re being honest over here:

✔️ Higher in protein
✔️ Full of flavor
✔️ Comfort food energy
❗Also higher in fat and sodium

So this isn’t an “everyday healthy meal” — this is one of those savory comfort meals you enjoy every now and then while still maintaining balance overall.

Because realistic healthy living is about consistency…not perfection 🤍

💛 HIGH PROTEIN SNACK TRAYS 🔥

One thing that has really helped me stay more consistent with healthy eating is preparing realistic snacks ahead of time 👏🏽

These high-protein snack trays are:
✔️ Quick to prep
✔️ Easy to grab during busy days
✔️ Filling and balanced
✔️ Great for meal prep

As a healthcare provider, I understand how important nutrition is — but I also understand how difficult it can be to maintain healthy habits with a busy lifestyle.

That’s why I focus on simple meals and snacks that are realistic for real life 💛

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated.
