when i did my PET for AMR it was about 110 lbs. today, my orientation at a new private company. we lifted our heaviest co-worker. he said he was 280. now this could be more realistic, alot pts are well over even 150 many times

make sure to watch if there are any beds that need new sheets when i was in my clinicals, one of my classmates actually tried to somewhat diagnosed someone...dont do that just any grunt work really. the nurses loved my class for it
