Welcome to the WING USA Group! The Work Injured Nurses Group, USA is meant to bring together injured nurses and those who care about them.

After suffering painful, and often disabling, work-related back injuries, many of which could have been prevented, many injured nurses find themselves in pain, out of work, and without an advocate. It is believed that injured nurses must be brought together and galvanized to best be heard. If you would like to view the WING-USA website, log on to www.wingusa.org.

It is hoped that WING USA's efforts will help increase awareness of the hazards of manual patient lifting to nurses' bodies and careers; will provide information helpful in establishing safe patient handling practices; will lead to practical assistance for work-injured nurses, including provision of Permanent Light Duty when necessary; and will facilitate enactment by the states of Zero Lift for Healthcare legislation. It is not necessary for nurses to risk disability and loss of career every day on the job from preventable injuries.

Speaking for injured nurses and those who wish to avoid injury,
