Answer: Heavy lifting Normal nurse duties can involve quite a bit of physical labor! Generally, I recommend at least 4 to 6 weeks of minimal or decreased physical activity. However, everyone heals at a different rate and this can take longer. While minimizing upper body lifting is the most important, decreasing high impact activities is also key. As you heal during the first few weeks your body will begin to let you know what's safe and what is not. Its important to go slow and work up to any activities. Having spent many years side by side with inpatient nurses, one common issue is they're great team players and want to help when they're working - be careful not to go overboard on your first day back! You made an investment in your body, be patient and work with it to achieve your best results.

Answer: Surgery I would suggest waiting until 3-4 weeks. Since you will be wearing a bra, you should be close to regular work by 4 weeks.
