That is very through, although there are times that some gives me a very hard time, because they are much older than I am, but I really appreciate them

Very well said

Where do you work at? I want to work with you.

Thank you!!

Thanks so much, I live in Brooklyn, and I really appreciate you guys for all the work and efforts you all make, after all you guys are with the patients all the time, and sometimes knows more about the patients than us, thumbs up.

And I got to say, the Care Partners have been a TREMENOUS help to me, especially as a new nurse. I really don't know what I would do without them. So thank you so much for all your hard work! It's not me either...there are lots of times when the patients themselves report back about how great the care partners are! =D

That's wonderful

We call them HCA's (Health Care Assistants) & I really do appreciate them & always say thank you at the end of the shift.

There is no "I" in team & the quicker everyone realises that the better a place is to work in.

I'm happy to report I found a place where the staff works as a team and are well compensated. Thank God for loving, wonderful CNA's who are there when families are unable to be. I make an effort to thank them every day. CNA'S; YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the care you give:hatparty: :hatparty:

New nurse, past CNA, here. I wish I had known as a CNA how much nurses depend on techs. I really appreciate the work CNAs do--I couldn't make it through my day without all of you! You guys rock!!!

We have some great techs on our floor and when I'm swamped with stuff I really appreciate knowing their work is done and charted so that I can access what I need when I need it. It may not seem like fancy work, but it is very important.

Keep up the good work--and thanks.

I love my techs--the tech assigned to my patients can make or break my day. All of the techs I work with (except one) rule and I say thank you every day. I simply cannot do my job well without the help of a tech. I especially like working with the ones that I know are keeping an eye on my patients along with me and I trust their judgment when they tell me something is going on. We are absolutely a team. Thank you to all techs and never underestimate the value of what you are doing--I certainly don't!
