3. NURSES AND BACK INJURIES: THE BEST PRESCRIPTION IS PREVENTION

Bending, lifting, twisting, reaching; is that your typical work day? Have you ever thought about how much pushing, pulling, or carrying nurses do in a 12 hour shift? According the National Bureau of Labor Static's, back injuries are the most common job related injuries in the health care field. It's not surprising considering the hundreds of back movements we do in one day.
