To all CNA's

I want to say, from the bottom of my heart, how deeply I appreciate each and every one of you.
You probably don't hear it enough.....you ARE the backbone of healthcare. You ARE the nurses eyes and ears. You know everything about all your patients. You do your job not for the pay, but for the patients. You don't get paid nearly enough for all that you do. You have some of the most undesirable tasks.....and you still manage to do them with a smile on you face. Amazing.

I am a first year LPN student. I have had 3 days at a clinical site so far, mostly doing CNA work. I don't know how you do it. It is really backbreaking, exhausting, demanding work.

I just wanted to say thank you for all you do everyday. This is one future nurse that will NEVER take her CNA's for granted.
