Ask your nurse leader to reach out to the therapy department and see if one of them can teach you some techniques. When in doubt, always remember to contract your core and use your legs when lifting.

Some people can change a bed bound patient by themselves, and I typically cannot. I’m embarrassed by this. I also need to get better at getting people to the commode.

There is no safe way to lift a patient without a hoyer type device. Some techniques are less dangerous than others, but any time you lift a human, you risk serious injury.

I wish others were more concerned about safety.
