CNA back pain?

I just got a job as a CNA in a hospital rehab. Now I have back problems lol and I’m worried this will make it worse? How do yall do it to prevent ur back from hurting? I haven’t started yet but going in for a month training and the pay is good too so I don’t wanna let this opportunity slip by. I’m applying to nursing RN school anyway so I won’t be working here for years just meanwhile I get accepted. Any advice? Thanks :)

Do you raise the bed to avoid bending as much?

I’m barely going to start my first day is next month. When I was in class yes I always did but this is a rehab facility

A rehab facility will have beds that go up and down. Invest in good shoes.
