Is it true tht u have to be able to lift atleast 80lb to go for nursing or radiology? The application for the school that I went to states that you must be able to "Lift and transfer patients to and from the x-ray table. Lift a minimum of 30 pounds and support up to 75 pounds. Move, adjust, and manipulate a variety of equipment to perform radiographic procedures." I am going for nursing right now and have never been told that. I can say from clinical experience that it does help, especially with larger patients but as far as I have been told there is no "specific" weight lifting amount required to go into the field. |
