  1. Back breaking work... literally...

    ICUJennRN posted a topic in MICU, SICU
    I completed an ICU residency and have been an ICU nurse for about 1.5 years. I have a history of back injuries, and hurt myself about 9 months ago and more seriously about 3 months ago (I slipped a disc). I was out of work about 6 weeks, had 2 cortisone shots, and it has been a slow and uncomfortable process getting back to full time with lots of PT, chiropractic, massage care. I am feeling pretty good now, but just keep tweaking it at work. I love a very active lifestyle and have not been able to exercise much for the last 8 months. So, I would love recommendations on what to do! I enjoy ICU nursing (I was hoping to do some travel nursing before getting out of bedside care), but it is really affecting my lifestyle! I've heard PACU is less labor intensive and a good option to avoid lifting, etc? Any other tips or advice would be wonderful. It's becoming very discouraging... Oh, I'm 27...
