Changing role of the CNA

Posted by Pat CNA fr: Maine on June 26, 1999 at 18:44:34:

Would like to share info, compare local data re:
staffing, morale in general, and the changing role we are facing in this increasing job market

I work for a municipal facility w/ 235 beds ..long term care, re-hab, dementia units, and skilled care....I am presently on the skilled care unit, we have 25 beds..alot of younger residents w/ MS, CP, MD,I thoroughly enjoy my work, at this point I can't see doing anything else... I would like to see some changes in the education and training of nursing assistants as well as more recognition than the old axiom " nursing home workers"... Love to hear from some of you...Thanks
