Entry level RN positions that require minimal lifting?
Hi all,
Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong forum. I am a 23 year old female with a Bachelor's in Psychology & I have decided to go back to school for nursing. I ultimately have plans to be a PNP, NNP, or FNP. I do understand that I will have to get my BSN and gain experience first.
I also understand that nursing is a stressful profession in itself. I don't mind cleaning up after people or being on my feet all day. I am mostly worried about the amount of lifting (especially with heavier patients). I am a petite girl as it is (and not a very strong one at that) and I feel that all the lifting cannot be good for me in the long run.
Hopefully this isn't a stupid question & I look forward to hear from you guys!
