National Nursing Assistants Week is June 7-14. This is your special week to showcase your service and wisdom as a caregiver. We hope you will do something special for NAs in your facilities and agencies, involve lots of people like your mayor, and also get some good positive publicity for your good work.
The slogan is "CareSense: Hearts and Hands of Caring" and the focus is how NAs use their good common sense when providing care.
You can find more info about NAWeek on this web site by going back to the main page or go to www.cna-network.org
You can also find a free proclamation that you can download and take to your mayor for signing for NAWEeek - to download at no cost -go to the order form and click on Proclamation download
You may also want to be involved with the Male NA Task Force on Staffing. This group will be meeting during NAWeek near Akron, Ohio. If you will email me privately, I can give you more info about how to attend and we may be able to help you find a sponsor as well
Keep in touch and good luck
