hi there, does your school offer placement assistance or can any of your past clinical instructors help get you "in"? Any nurses you met during rotations? Sometimes even when hospitals don't post openings if you know the right people they can get you in. Any classmates, friends or family work at any hospitals? Network, push hard, keep trying and best of luck!
Ok, it finally happened. I moved a patient and TWING! felt my back do something bad. I'm in so much pain. Employee health gave me some muscle relaxants and put me on light duty but how on earth do I prevent this in the future? I do use proper body mechanics (I work on rehab so I learn from the PT's) but this just happened even though I was doing everything right. Does anyone wear a brace during work? Any other suggestions?? Thank you!!
