Old nurse, new concerns

check into MDS at LTC. And welcome to allnurses!

We had older people and those with physical limitations working on cases in home health where the nurse was primarily sitting with a patient. One nurse told me that she had a bad back so she only worked with infants and small children that she could easily lift and move and where the crib height was high enough for her to avoid bending. You might try going to a home health agency with your concerns and have them set you up with work meeting this criteria. Eventually you could be working full time with physically easier cases. Working with only one client at a time is also a plus for those with limitations. I have also worked on a case where male family members did all lifting and transfers for the nurses. Good luck.
