Some of the hardest working, most loving staff members in long-term care are Certified Nursing Assistants. These employees are the ones working most closely with the residents. Residents often shared with me who was the best at assisting them in bathing, helping them to look extra nice for an outing, who made them laugh, whose shoulder was the best for a cry. The Nursing Assistants are very important in the lives of residents and the working of a facility.
June 16-23, 2011 is Nursing Assistant Week. If you know one of these people, please take a minute to thank them for their work.

Being a CNA is more of a personal satisfaction because their job is to help others specially the one’s who need medical care. We train them and I want to thank them personally because without the like of them, who would be helping the needy. It is what they live for. Thank you.
I agree, Bryan. They have a difficult job that is so needed.
