Nami clearly has no way of aiming her lightning since all she really does is
make a lightning cloud, so how does she never get hit especially since she's
always holding a long metal stick.

How does Nami never get hit by her own lightning


This is largely opinion-based, but the answer is most likely control. Nami is
an excellent navigator to begin with, she's used to her own attacks, and she's
always careful to let lightning fall exactly where she needs and steer clear
of it. After the timeskip, she was even shown to be able to aim where her
lightning falls in a few attacks.

In contrast, on a more comical note, she almost did strike herself down with
lightning by accident in the Enies Lobby arc due to her weapon being _too_
powerful (And whacked Usopp/Sogeking over the head for it), but she quickly
adapted to it.

As for the "metal stick" part, it was never adressed so only speculation can
be used, but Usopp most likely designed it so as to not conduct lightning.
Making a weapon that can create thunder but keeping it as standard metal would
be heavily impractical and dangerous.
