Help with calories burned

[NAG]

I am a nurse and am having a hard time finding the activity level for my job. The closest thing that comes up is "chambermaid". An old term that does not apply to my job at all. Any suggestions? I have tried to look at other "work" options, but can't read beyond the "..." for the remainder of the activity.

I would just look up what you do in your job.  My daughter is a nurse so I know that the job varies.  You may not have to log in anything for your job.   I am a science teacher and, since it involves a lot of walking, I do not bother logging in the activity for it.   I do log in the elliptical workouts I do as well as when I hike because fitbit does not track the incline or the level of the activity and I want to make sure the calories are added correctly.  

Good Luck!

@NAGThe activity you looked at includes nursing but when I log it it gives me exactly 3.0 times my sedentary rate and chambermaid gives me 2.65 times sedentary. I think you will find your normal activity would probably generate more calories than those activities. That might also depend on the type of Fitbit you are wearing. If a Flex and you patient handling the count maybe lower.

Here is the description of the activity.

Standing; light/moderate (assemble/repair heavy parts, welding, stocking, auto repair, pack boxes for moving, etc.), patient care (as in nursing)
