No lift policy

[monters]

Is this common in nursing homes? I am SO excited just got my first CNA job and its union and they have a strict "no lift policy". Whoohoo I can save my back. I was advised if they cannot even take a few steps from even wheelchair to bed or viceversa a mechinical lift with 2 people is needed.

We do have dedicated Hoyer slings for each patient, and we always use the Hoyer for those that we are supposed to use it for. My back still hurts.
