Tennessee Nurses – Workers’ Compensation Claims

My wife is a nurse.   I have great respect for the profession.  Nurses are the cornerstone of the American healthcare system.  Without nurses, the system could not function effectively. 

The nursing profession requires brains and sometimes, brawn.  Nurses are required to make quick mathematical calculations, breakdown medication charts and recognize a variety of symptoms to avert disaster.  However, nurses are also required to move patients and prevent patients from falling.  This can lead to serious back, neck and shoulder injuries.

If you are a nurse who has been injured at work, make sure you follow your treating doctor's restrictions.  One of my clients, a nurse in Winchester, Tennessee, recently returned to work following a serious shoulder sugery.  She was asked to work beyond the scope of her restrictions.  We fought her employer to stop this situation before her injury became worse.  Many times nurses are asked to "help the team" and work beyond their restrictions, despite the limitations placed on them by their doctor.  This is wrong and you are not required to work beyond your restrictions.
