    You have 24 hours to report an injury as per our state workman's comp policy. I'd say it's the same for nursing school. Please call your teacher, coordinator, who ever is in charge and get this taken care of. You cannot afford to lose your back. It will kill your career.

    It gets better. It really does, but for each person WHEN it gets better is very individual...

    This area of nursing is not for everyone, it is tough! But hang in there, you are not incompetent~! You are getting experience! What you really need to survive in nursing! I've heard and seen it all, it should get better, and if the workload remains the same, you will end up having plenty of experience to switch to another niche in nursing Take Care

    In Alberta, Canada, the time limit on reporting an injury to the WCB is 24 months... but... there are situations where the time limit doesn't necessarily apply. POLICY: 01-05 PART II - Application 1 I think the OP should report as soon as is practicable even though there was no time missed from work, because as the above post says, a back injury can come back to haunt you years from now.
