Nursing and Back Injuries: The majority of injuries reported by nurses are head, neck, or back injuries related to lifting patients, nurses report. Although federal guidelines suggest workers do not lift anything above 50 pounds, most patients weigh much more than that. Whenever you can, push instead of pull. This puts less stress on your back and you have twice as much power. Stay close to the bed or machine you are using and avoid reaching. Use both arms to prevent strain. When you lift from floor level, lift from a squat with your back straight, bend your knees, and let your legs do the lifting. If you have to lift from waist level, try to get help from another nurse or aide on the floor. Make sure you put the bed rails or wheelchair arms down. Explain what you're doing to your patient and to your co-worker who's helping you lift.

Symptoms of Nursing Burnout: The symptoms of burnout are as varied as the sufferers. Some people become angry, blowing up or growling at anyone who crosses their path. Some resort to blaming any annoyance, large or small, on external factors. Some become quiet, introverted and isolated, which can indicate the start of a serious depression. Others manifest burnout by under or overeating or abusing alcohol or other mood-altering substances. Still others may experience a range of physical symptoms, including chronic illness, high blood pressure and frequent headaches. Some people on the verge of burnout actually become obsessive workaholics. Others become chronically late or psychologically absent.

Workplace Violence: Nurses are particularly vulnerable to violent attacks when staffing is low and at times of high activity, such as visiting hours and meals. Familiarize yourself with your patients, especially those with a history of violent behavior, dementia, or drug or alcohol intoxication.

If you don't ask for a pay rise you won't receive it, however when you do ask take your boss some evidence that you deserve it (e.g. meeting and exceeding standards, going the extra mile).

It is better not to write a list of projects and priorities. It's better to think them, and remember. Then they will happen more easily.

Boost your brain power. Some good energisers: improving posture, standing and moving around, strolls, stretching, getting enough sleep, and light, regular meals.

Main > Occupations > Market stalls
Preparation: Market stalls can be hard work. It is extremely important that your product lines and prices are right, as well as your stall location. It can help to operate as a trader on an online auction site for a while, so that you get to know what people want and how much they are prepared to pay.

Steps: You'll have to think about buying or renting the physical stall. You'll need a car/van to take the stuff. You may need the relevant insurances as you'll be dealing with the public. If your selling food you may need a basic hygiene certificate. At first, get yourself along to one of these markets very early (5am?) and queue up as a casual trader - at about 7/8am you'll be taken around and assigned locations where the regular traders who hold regular spots have not shown up. Try this for a week or two, preferably without investing too much in stock first, and see how it goes.

Do some research. Check out the local markets. Which stand has the largest crowd? What are they selling? Is there any money in it. Speak to the manager of the market site. What does he suggest?

Pricing: Items are more likely to sell for $9.99 than $10 because customers get the impression that more effort and attention has been given to the pricing of the item. It's not so much that the customer thinks the price is that much cheaper it is "9" rather than a "10". The disadvantage with doing this is that intelligent people will see you as a con artist and will be less trusting of you.

Choice: Customers are more satisfied when there isn't too much choice. When there is too much choice the customer is left with the feeling that they can't possibly be purchasing the best item.

Advertising: What not to do is flood the market with ads. It is annoying, looks desperate, and is penalised by getting the mindless masses as customers, who fickly ask for refunds for petty reasons.

Advertising: Discerning customers are already thinking about a product before looking for suppliers. Then when they do make contact with suppliers, it's usually to do research. They are very loyal to businesses who don't demoralise them with stupid ads.

Main > Occupations > Teaching
Good teaching sees what the learner already understands, and uses that knowledge as the bridge to new knowledge. Good teaching will result in the learner having more faith in the possibility of having an understanding in their own right, provoke gratitude, and joy when they do understand, all of which stimulate learning in leaps and bounds.

The biggest expense in secret shopping is car expenses. If you are not careful your expenses can easily be greater than the money you are earning. As of 2016, the full cost of running a car can be up to $1 per kilometre.

Do deals with those who are hiring you to do bulk numbers of jobs, and negotiate car expenses. It is less work for them to have an experienced person do a lot of jobs than to have to deal with a lot of inexperienced people.
