Sitting at work

I recently shadowed in the pediatric CICU. It looked amazing! I noticed that a lot of nurses stand when they could be sitting to document or do other things. The patients are tiny; a nurse could even do a lot of work on the patient while sitting. Is it looked down on if a nurse sits? I get back pain when I have to stand for too long, but I feel like this shouldn't prevent me from working there because I can sit and do things like document. I worry that the culture of the unit may make me feel like I have to stand though. What have your experiences been with standing and sitting at work?

    I agree, I love a job where I can do a happy medium of both standing, walking, and sitting.
