i start work as a Nurse Assistant in october. im a little worried mostly about hurting my back and also having to clean...the old mens...you know whats.

I know it sounds silly or whatever but its a fear of mine. Do you get over it pretty quick? >And how do you prevent hurting your back if the person is heavy?

    You should have learned all this in school, proper body mechanics. If you have a problem with "having to clean...the old mens...you know whats", then you shouldn't have done this to begin with. Didn't you already get to practice that in school?

    You get use to it, It doesn't bother you after a while. As for your back just use proper techniques and if you are unsure ask someone for help or use a lift.
