Teresia, welcome to the forum! We are glad to have you join us. You will find an excellent support system here and like others have said, don't be shy. We talk about everything here! 
I too am an RN and I have to tell you that it has become so much easier to get through a shift. I used to go home limping because my knees hurt so bad but now the pain is gone! I still am stiff when I first get up if I've been sitting charting for awhile but I can deal with a little stiffness. You will be amazed how much better you feel as the weight comes off.
