    Hi,

    So i returned to work this week as a nurse. Today I had to roll two very heavy patients several times on shift and was having to work very hard … no pain at the time but have a mild ache in my left breast this evening.

    I was worrying about doing it anyway. However, theylook and feel the same.

    Am I ok pushing/rolling, with almost all my strength, heavy patients?

    Am I safe at this point?

    Xx

    Hi- im a nurse too. Im really worried about rolling on my return to work. Have you had 8 weeks off? Im only having 17 days off ???? Are you rolling alone or with 3? (1 for sheets 2 to roll) I asked at my consultations and they said id be om to return to moving and handling after 14 days.
