I have a back injury - do you?

Published

Hi, I posed another forum the other day, but I am looking for some more advice.

I am aware that many nurses have back injuries as a result of working as a nurse. I am 19 and I am currently a freshmen nursing student.

I was recently diagnosed with spondylolisthesis. I have a difficult time walking or being on my feet for long periods of time.

If you were me, would you consider changing majors knowing what you do now? Nursing is all I have ever wanted to do, so I am worried that this may inhibit my ability to be a good nurse.

Thanks,

Megan
