Answer
There's really not much detail here other than the volume. I could write a book and not cover what you need. If you post back with filter type, pool type (concrtet or vinyl), heater or no heater, type of sanitizer being used and any automatic pool cleaners, it would be helpful. There's simply too many things to cover other than basic water chemistry. I usually suggest to new home owners that they get a pool service guy in once, to give them waht our company calls pool 101's. Many service companies will do this for you and it won't cost much more than a service call (50 bucks). You'll get a personalized lesson, that's good for your specific set up and equipment. Take notes and if possible videotape the lesson. Hey, don't laugh, I think I'm starring in over 100 home videos by now. This way you can review what you've learned.
I'll go over some basics, common to most pools.
1/ check your chemistry at least once week. Total alkalinity 80-120 , Ph 7.2- 7.6, Cl or Br 1.0 -3.0. Always adjust your TA before trying to adjust anything else contrary to what I see in some of these posts ( still giggling, little wonder people's pools go green)
2/ Vac out the pool on at least a weekly basis. Keeping it clean helps lower your overall chemical expenditures.
3/ Clean out you pump and skimmer baskets on at least a weekly basis and same goes for whatever filter system you are using, unless it's a DE filter, you can leave those longer.
4/ Every month or so, take a water sample into your pool shop to be tested. They test for things a typical home owner's kit doesn't. If you're developing a calcium hardness issue, total dissolved solids or a dissolved metal issue, they can nip it in the bud before any damage occurs. You should also take in a sample 2 weeks prior to closing the pool (if applicable) and within a few days of pool opening (if applicable). Helps you put the pool to bed properly and get off to a good start in spring.
That's all I can post given the info you provided. Every pool is different. I'll put this on my watch list, if you update and may be able to help further.

Answer
I'm an Intensive Care RN for the past 13 years. I'm super fit! I am 38 years old, 5' 8", 120 lbs, and am a previous certified yoga instructor. I work out everyday on stairmaster, Total Gym, and have a pool to do water aerobics.
Nursing is very demanding physically! (Not to mention emotionally). Last night I worked a 12 and a half hour shift at a liver transplant unit and busted my butt! I had a half hour break to gulp down my Nutrisystem. You are hanging meds, doing wound care, bathing patients, transporting patients, using complicated, heavy hemodynamic and ventilator equipment. You will work hard, long, and be challenged in every way imaginable.
Very few ICUs have techs or aides, so you do everything! I have a Masters degree and I clean up floors, empty catheters, as well as all the frequent charting and monitoring and assessing required of a professional ICU RN.
You have to be proficient in anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, etc. just to work your job. You review labs, xrays, and other diagnostic tests. You are your patient's/client's advocate!
I worked super hard last night and made about $270 for over 12 hour shift. My friends are cocktail waitresses at casinos makings twice as much serving beer. Pay rates vary tremendously, and I do travel ICU nursing to take advantage of this. I've been to Hawaii, Alaska, California, Virgin Islands, Miami etc. Good luck in your pursuit of nursing! We need smart, strong, compassionate, healthy people to take on the Extreme Challenge of ICU Nursing!!!
